What will YOU create? • What do I do now? Start collecting junk!
• How much junk do I need? Enough to fill an
entire brown paper grocery bag.
• Where can I find junk? Try your recycle bin
at home, kitchen junk drawer, under your
bed, the bottom of your backpack, the
garage, and look around on campus. It is
everywhere!
Due Dates: Sketchbook brainstorming (at least 2
pages filled with several ideas): Friday
5/17
Junk brought to class: Friday 5/17
Finished project: Friday 5/31 (last day for
seniors!) *We will be glazing our pockets heads in the middle of
this project (Thursday 5/23 and Friday 5/24) so they will
be fired in time for seniors.
