This is a piece I did for my Elements of Visual Thinking class.

Everyone bought a 30x40in chip board and an oil bar, we layed the boards out as a grid (17 of them) and drew whatever we want, wrote whatever we want, did whatever we wanted with these boards until our oil bar sticks ran out.

The result wasn't how I had imagined it.

But everyone took a board home and recreated it into their own art pieces. So this is mine. There are still hints of the oil bar peeking through all the acrylic paint.

After we brought it to class, we took someone else's by picking a number.

Andrew has mine, I'll take a picture and post his result.

This project is based on a reading by Roland Barthes "Death of the Author."
