Two weeks ago we were to choose a genre of art in which to produce a piece for my Arts in Education class. Since I was not in the room when my instructor was going over each genre (I was stuck in the bookstore line attempting to pick up my textbook), I chose "unusual art" thinking that it would be kind of hard to mess up a piece that is supposed to be unusual. Solid logic right? Unfortunately, little did I know, this genre obligates me to create art by using unusual items...
After lots and lots of brainstorming (and scouring Pinterest), I came up with a few ideas but I am not very artistic and we all know how Pinterest projects turn out! I have decided that the following photo is the goal.

Although I have a feeling that the beautiful wreath above may end up looking more like this....

Due to a limited supply of corks and time, this may end up being closer to my final goal. This project is challenging me to "think outside the box" by using a medium that I would not traditionally think of as a medium for art. This could be a fun project to use in a classroom as well. I could have students use items to create art instead of simply have them create a painting or sculpture.
Until Next Time,
Ms. K
