I have been thinking about my thesis since last summer. I have since then been collecting newspapers and soda cans to recycle for the basis of my work. From our first group meeting I had gotten a lot of positive feedback on the idea for my recycled newspaper project. The concepts of earth, tree growth, newspaper production, communication, and change were well received. However, there was much discussion about the project of recycled soda cans. I believe further needs to be given to it before I can formalized a well defined project.
Victor suggested concentrating on one aspect of my thesis at a time. He recommended on focusing on the newspaper portion of the project. He feels that the newspaper project is interesting and he would like to see more works done with newspapers.
I am very excited to work on my thesis "the good earth" which incorporates artworks using newspapers as its founddation.
I agree with Viktor. I think you are thinking too widely about things, when really you should be honing in on one solid idea. The ideas you shared were great, I love the soda cans and I think you should try what I suggested to do with the re-bar. It's a fairly simple construction and I'm sure Gary or George will be able to weld then structure together for you.
ReplyDeleteI think your recycled newspaper project is organic and inventive. It's good to explore this project in its fullest capacity. I also think it would be good to look at other recycle artist. Clare Graham is one artist you can look at, he creates art from bottlecaps, buttons,
