Exquisite Corpse

The cool Egyptian ran like beautiful thunder.
The creepy sunlight screamed delightfully over waterfalls.
The ridiculous car rolled on glistening mountaintops.



Performance

Im still not positive what im going to do for my performance but ill figure it out eventually. When first starting my list i was coming up with these kinds of words- Sleep, carry, drop, jump, sit, throw, drink, walk, talk, computer, laugh, crush, tear, eat tie, knot, picture, sculpt, listen, stretch. My two favorite words that i came up with were Slap and Sculpt. For slapping i would litereally use someone as a prop and slap them. I thought that would be really interesting. But then again, i would have to slap someone. I think i really like the idea of the word sculpt though, i want to do some research, but if i did, im not sure what word i would use exactly. I was thinking along the line of childs play? When children play with playdough they never really know what exactly they are making. I might pick more cheap clay up. Or playdough. Im not positive. Maybe search the origin and see if i can fingure something out:) I hope it turns out okay!

Metaphor project.

I wasnt able to take pictures yet :/ But i will post some ASAP!! Anywho, my metaphor project, if you didnt know, was about the struggle when i was younger of being a tomboy. If you looked at my project you would notice that its completely made of car parts, and all the parts made up a 4 ft tall flower:) I thought it was pretty clear that it was more of a rough guy type of thing, dirty and grungy, merged with natures beauty. If it wasnt clear im sorry. Everyones response to it was really well. I recieved many compliments back, which i was VERY pleased about, so thank you. I had alot of fun working with my materials. Or at least some of them... Tires were the devil during the project, NEVER work with tires unless your looking for a challenge. But it was well worth it. If anyone wants to know, i got all of my parts from my fathers shop, he fixes up wrecked vehicles and tosses parts all the time that he doesnt need, I would have gone with a car door if it wasnt too heavy for me to carry :/ but im weak and it was of course.

Mark making.



Okay so my mark making was the windows. I took tracing paper, 4 pads of it to be exact, and stuffed the two windows with it. Why use windows? Because in my story, i climb out of two of them, so i thought it would be appropriate to use two windows in my mark making. Everyone seemed to respond to my project pretty good. The only issue everyone came upon was the lighting, since there wasnt very much mark making going on with so much white paper. But once lighting was added, everyone was pleased. I was pretty content with how my project came out and im glad everyone liked it. :)

Hey guys. Feedback. Aka. More info on the Metas.

I know everyone liked the suitcase idea, but after thinking i decided that that wasnt the best idea, juuust because there are many houses that i dont have any memory in at all. And there are a few houses that i only lived in for maybe a few months. Not long enough to even have a memory in. But i did decide to go with the tree idea. To me it was the most clever. A tree with houses growing on it, 15 have been picked. More growing as in there are more to come in my lifetime. I have not lived in every house i will live in yet. I will po st picture of my progress tomorrow.

2nd idea. Tree of houses, 15 have been picked.

3rd idea. Suitcase with 15 tags, 15 childhood memories.
