Concpetual (Clever) Art

We now move into the wonderous world of conceptual artwork, a flexable landscape of endless interpretations and definitions. For our first, albeit brief assignment, we each took a random square piece of paper from a hat, each sqaure having one of a possible eight designs draw upon it. These designs consisted mainly of one sweeping line, at most two. We then transfered that design onto a larger bristol square. Then one by one, and in order, we placed our squares onto the wall in a 3x6 rectangle. The random lines came together in random areas to form patterns upon patterns, as well as just more randomness. This was a good introduction into the idea of conceptual art, that we all were apart of the process of creating the ultimate piece, and that our contributions were random in their design.
