WALK ON IT

There is a channel on YouTube that I really love, and it's called The art assignment. Basically they get different interesting artists and interesting people in general, to set you a task, a challenge, an art assignment of sort. It is not always strictly traditional art - that's what I love about it, they are really creative and think outside of  the box. Anyway, I decided to take part in this challenge.

Always,I decided to shake thing up a bit and do something slightly different. I painted a square piece of plywood with acrylic colors and combined it with pieces of newspaper and old school assignments to make a collage. In the end sing pieces of wood, I stamped on the date of my project. Instead of walking on the board itself, I decided to cut it in  appropriate pieces, sew then to the soles of my shoes and actually walk on them for a day. This way, I was able to see the change, that my day made on the surface of the painting and compare it to the intact plywood piece left at home. I used an old pair of flats and some fishing line to secure the new soles.   Throughout the day, the fishing line in the front of the left shoe tore form me stepping on it so i had to re-sew the sole on multiple times. I also gout could in a small summer storm, hence the dilapidated wood. Strangely enough the shoes were not weird to walk in. The only noticeable thing was the sound they made when walking. This is the end result.
