The art assignment: “Artistic Alchemy”, given by Brandan Odums

My discarded object is a worn out sock. It’s been a container and a protection for a foot so many times that it’s now broken and useless. By adding salt water, like sweat for wearing or tears for discarding, crystals grow and transform the soft foot-container to something stiff and crusty. A flat object closed and dried, like a fossilized memory of a sock.

The idea behind this assignment is to make something beautiful from something that would otherwise be headed for the trash or recycling pile.The objects I chose are small cardboard place holders that come in the packaing for the CD sleeves we use to store and ship the master copies of the audiobooks we produce at work.  Thinking about the way they are used to separate CD sleeves, I started thinking about music and album covers and these little lyric cards are what came of that train of thought. I had a set of markers from the #assemblyline assignment with megmotherwort. So I tried them out o the cardboard and I was really happy with how the “Pointless Beauty” card came out when made that one almost  as an experiment, but I liked it and the process of creating it so much that I made a full set.  They’reall based on songs and/or specific lyrics that have really resonated iwht me at one point or another.  The last one is actualy my current favorite song. 

Anyway, thanks for reading and checking out my #artassignment.  I hope you enjoyed it! And check out the musical inspiration. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLS1OWxMDszhye-x0A13NqcJJ6oDnFE_Yp

My Year By Design:

At first I was having some real difficulty ‘destroying’ (transforming) a book. I justified it in the end because this book was published in 1978 and a lot of the information in it will be obsolete. Still, I felt a little guilty as I carved stars in this book. However, as I worked I saw the potential for art.

I’m really pleased with my finished project. I really enjoy the fact that I can hide this art piece on my bookshelf. I love the idea of people discovering the art inside this book when they expected something usual. Art can so easily confound expectations.

PS – I learned how to hollow out a book here.

Part two of my Artistic Alchemy Art Assignment. I used the bottle top section from my original assignment response to make another little planter. This one is much simpler I just added dirt and raided my backyard for the succulent cuttings and tiny stones. Still the same inspiration of the bottle once being used to house green plant juice, now being used to house new plant life. These cuttings will each sprout roots and grow into their own.
