Our latest project in art was the exquisite corpse project. For this project we were suppose to show some sort of change. I decided to show technology beginning to take over nature. We also had to collaborate with another student for this project. One of the ideas my partner drew was a microphone with a wire which fit my idea. I decided to do a wood carving because it's my favorite type of art to create. In the center is the tree of life. It was fun to carve because I got to use a drill ans saw to cut out the pieces in the center. The leaves around the outside represent nature without technology. They were a little hard to carve, but very fun. The wires on the inside are from broken electronics like headphones that I found lying around my house. I wrapped them around the tree to show technology starting to overtake nature in the world, because the tree of life is similar to the world tree in Norse myths. This project was really fun. Since everyone picked a different medium to work with our projects turned out very different and and amazing. Next we're going to make laptop stands. I can't wait.
