NARRATIVE
You may want to watch the Art 21 episode featuring narrative art and the artists speaking about it, The link is to the right, at the top of the section marked "narrative"
For Monday,
1)Read the article about Tom Sachs located on LMS in the handout section. Write a paragraph (40 words or more) as a synopsis of what you read and comments. You may be positive or negative toward the work of Tom Sachs, but have an opinion and convince me you read the article.
2)"shop" for 5-12 items that have some personality or subject that when grouped together can form a story. These items can relate or not. Pick things that you find interesting in their own right. For instance, a toy horse and a silver spoon and a race car don't relate immediately, but if you play with them enough some story forms.
3)Play with the items by rearranging them and photographing them interacting with each other until some story forms. Move them around, put them in different environs to help you imagine what you would do with these objects to make a sculpture that has a narrative core.
4)Come up with a concept of what you would do to this group of objects to tell the story. Remember, you can alter the objects in any way, and use any supporting physical materials to build your sculpture.

Of importance to your grade on the Narrative project:
You should be prepared to "sell" this concept to the class. In other words, you should be able to convince us why your treatment of the objects and their presentation contributes to the narrative (or story). If you are in Portfolio or BA think about how you could use this project to supplement the works you are making for that class. Work in content that relates to your artist statement.
Craft is important.
