Creative Project 1: Making Ends Meet

Description: Create an artwork inspired by your own experiences with money, class, wealth, poverty, and/or making ends meet. The artwork should be accompanied by a written formal description of the work's appearance and a conceptual explanation describing the work's underlying themes, issues and/or ideas. (~400-800 words)

Please submit your proposal typed and printed on a single sheet of paper. Your proposal should include

the following:

1. Working title

2. Physical description: A written description of the appearance of the work you have in mind.

What is it? How will it appear to your audience? What media will you use? (~100 words)

3. Conceptual summary: A brief summary of how the work addresses the conceptual theme of the

project. What is the work about? What ideas are you interested in?(~100 words)

4. A sketch or visual representation of the proposed work if helpful.

The idea of pooling together and buying in on several shares of the artist-not the product.

Smart economically-for the investor- putting eggs in several baskets

Smart for artist- Money upfront to support their practice in the beginning in exchange for 1% of work afterwords

Collaborative Project Critique: A Game, A Survey or an Instructional Video

Collaborative Projects - Students will create a collaborative performance, presentation, or action related to the material we’ve covered in class.

A room of newspapers strewn over the floor. A person in a black body suit crawling all over the floor rubbing newspapers together and rustling them-ripping them. This piece talks about environmental responsibility and the push to read things online more.

-Get statistics

-how much waste does newspaper contribute to?

Issues-

 Pulp mills contribute to air, water and land pollution. Discarded paper is a major component of manylandfill sites, accounting for about 35 percent by weight of municipal solid waste (before recycling).[1] Even paper recycling can be a source of pollution due to the sludge produced during de-inking.[2]

pulp and paper is the third largest industrial polluter to air, water, and land in both Canada and the United States, and releases well over 100 million kg of toxic pollution each year.[5]

Worldwide, the pulp and paper industry is the fifth largest consumer of energy, accounting for four percent of all the world's energy use. The pulp and paper industry uses more water to produce a ton of product than any other industry.[6]

Deforestation[edit]

Main article: Deforestation

Worldwide consumption of paper has risen by 400% in the past 40 years, with 35% of harvested trees being used for paper manufacture. Plantation forest, from where the majority of wood for pulping is obtained, is generally a monocultureand this raises concerns over the ecological effects of the practice.

Deforestation is often seen as a problem in developing countries but also occurs in the developed world. Woodchipping to produce paper pulp is a contentious environmental issue in Australia.[7] In the 1990s, the New Zealand government stopped the export of woodchips from native forests after campaigning by environmentalists.[8]

Waste-

Paper waste accounts for up to 40% of total waste in the United States, which adds up to 71.6 million tons of waste per year in the United States alone.[12] Paper waste like other wastes faces the additional hazard of toxic inks, dyes and polymers that could be potentially carcinogenic when incinerated, or comingled with groundwater via traditional burial methods such as modern landfills. Paper recycling mitigates this impact, but not the environmental and economic impact of the energy consumed by manufacturing, transporting and burying and or reprocessing paper products.

-think about instructional videos

-how to convey that it sounds the same way on paper versus on a screen?

-friction

-tension

-elegant moments

-what does the news paper sounds like?

-news?

-Should I get Obama to speak in the background?

-music?

The figure looks like shes almost trying to clean up the news paper with itself

-material working anganist material

-Not using the proper meathods of cleaning up

-a material working agnist eachother

-the performance kind of seems usless.-not going anywhere as for a problem solver

-(using a voice over from obamas climate speech)

My goals through this video-

Promote the usage of technology to gather your dailey information insead of reading the same material in newspapers- aiding to what their talking about in newspapers

-Your aiding to the story

-refuse to contribute to the story

-don’t contribute to the story

-refuse to be apart of the story

-dont let your actions make the headlines

-contribute to the positive headline

-don’t contribute to the change

-you pick which change to contribute to

-it sounds the same either way

-renew the place of restoration

Question to ask myself-

How does technology change the way people experience  the news?

Are the benefits of reading your news online worth giving up the tactile pleasure?

How can I push this to the next level?

How can I physically change how people look at news?

Is this video going to change any minds or just suggest “do this to be a good person?”

What would make me stop reading the newspaper?-I love the tactile quality

-An eaiser way to recyce it?

-think of

-Give statics of switching to online?

-How many trees is one person cutting down

-what animals are being effected by it?

-Make it personal

-is this an issue that needs the most attention?

-yes-

-deforestation needs the most attention

-Especially in California- highlight that

-maybe talk about the original wetern landscape? Ansel adams?

-the west as this place of “renewl” and restoration

-use some sort of voice over of ansel adams?
