Extreme Makeover - Minor Revision

I have sketches from my "analog" process book that I need to scan in, as well as some "digital" examples to post, however, I’ve some quick notes to jot down.

  • Idea — Not bad, but no real sense of covering. Seems as if taking a "blank canvas" approach to the effort. Effective in message, but not fufilling guidelines of project.
  • Problem — Giving new sense to object with a a new surface or situation.
  • Solution #1 — Create entire scene with artist utencils and supplies that mimics the results of a kitchen. Go towards a large scale of work. Judy Chicago’s dinner party as possible example. Difficulty in obtaining material in short time span and budget. Also breaks away from message of art supplies (not utencils) as culinary seasonings
  • Solution #2 — Repackage paint in sticks of butter. Conveys message… but needs to be explained that the inside is paint. Builds on prior art of "This is Not Today’s Butter". Cost effective and works within the timespan of the project.

Of the two solutions, #2 is the best option. The main struggle will be indicating that the insides are packaged with paint. This can be overcome with placement of the object. Rudimentary example below:
