Whether it be a book or song, or even the landscape in front of you, an idea for a work of art can appear out of almost anything. Three students were asked about their own creative processes and, more specifically, what they think about and what inspires them as they create their own work.
What is a Gift?
posted by Amanda Tyler
The Gift Music and Art Festival takes place this weekend, on the nights of both Nov. 8-9. For free admission, students can create a gift of artwork to be given up for auction at a later date. So what exactly should this gift consist of? The crew behind the festival is accepting any medium of work, of any size or subject matter. So far, gifts have ranged from alternative process photographic prints to origami birds and intricately painted portraits. Music and film majors are welcomed to submit a gift in their genre also, provided that a CD or DVD of the work can be presented. All art will be accepted for admission, as long as it is evident that time, energy and thought has been put into the piece. When your work is complete, the gift can be be brought to the festival, where a crew member will exchange it for your entrance. Still stuck? Pictures below demonstrate a few examples of work made and materials used for a variety of gifts. For more information on the festival, check out this Jackalope article and the event Facebook...
