Inspired by the art action website of Miranda July and Harrell Fletcher, we in the GA class did some of the assignments given on the site.

Our purpose was to explore introspection, connections, and relationships within the context of a simple art action.
Students chose from an abbreviated list of the LTLYM assignments on the website:
¡#70 Say Goodbye
¡#63 Make an encouraging banner
¡#54 Draw the News
¡#56 Make a portrait of your friend’s desires
¡#53 Give advice to yourself in the past
¡#48 Make the saddest song, write and/or perform
¡#32 Draw/paint or act out a scene from a movie that made you or someone cry
¡#33 Braid someone else’s hair
¡#23 Recreate this snapshot
¡#16 Make a paper replica of your bed
¡#5 Recreate an object from someone’s past
¡#37 Write down and draw or act out a recent argument
Students created drawings, text art, paintings, collages, sculptures, performances, poems, songs, and videos.
Some collaborated and some worked alone. All students shared their "art actions" with each other, and we are working on displaying the work outside of the class. There will be photos posted as that happens.
This project was the subject of a Pecha Kucha presentation for the National Art Education Association National Convention in San Diego (March 31, 2014) and also for the MCA Chicago Curriculum Slam (happening soon).
I am very proud of the Guerrilla Art students and their thoughtful, beautiful work. Please share!!!
