A major theme and motivator in this class is to venture into the unknown; to place ourselves in unfamiliar situations; to challenge our expectations and assumptions about art, and a larger scale, about life.

We decided to capture this theme of learning through the unfamiliar or “the different” by highlighting the diversity of the different members in our group. We have a few ideas that we’re currently wrestling with on how to capture these theme that encapsulate our idea.

Our foundational idea was that we should use the diversity of our group as an analogy for the diversity of art.  We wanted to do something interesting that we won’t reveal yet.  We wanted to challenge our IDC’s preconceived notions about art through displaying difference.  Our idea started at a very basic like having the different members speak showing the different colors of their lips. We then though about displaying a physical and metaphorical melting pot by fusing our bodies together. We continue to brainstorm as we decide on the most expressive way to demonstrate this idea.
