Color Coded
Objectives:
Color and surface are profound characteristics of all objects. Color and surface are our interface with the world; these constitute everything what we see and how things feel. These in turn direct our instinctual and analytical minds. Change them and you change reality, or you at least have presented your audience with existential questions.
Requirements:
Change our understanding of an object in the most meaningful way you can think of or come up with by changing its color and/or surface. Use a found or purchased object and paint. Change it in the most radical way you can. Do not alter things that exist in the public sphere.
In preparation, listen to the Radio Lab podcast on color (embedded at right) and read On the Spiritual in Art, by Wassily Kandinsky. Be prepared to discuss both. Take notes, and be prepared to write a short, in-class essay on the ideas contained within each that you find moving or intriguing.
Materials:
Open media. You will need an object, compatible paint, and possibly glue. Your specific materials are contingent upon your ideas.
