In art we are starting our final project of the year where we get a subway map of New York City and we have to change it some way to show our unique experience of the city. I have chosen to cut up my map into strips so that I can paper mache them around a balloon, so it turns into kind of a globe shape thing. Then once it dries I will take pieces of string cut at random lengths and glue them on in random patterns across the “globe” to represent people’s paths crossing through life. I hope that when people look at my piece they will take away the fact that if our paths cross, it doesn’t matter who you are or where you are the paths will cross anyway. I am really excited to get to create a project that has almost no guidelines and I am curious to see how my plan changes as I go along.
