Taylor Mac uses color, fabrics and textures. If you could have your ideal outfit designed for a summer Cookout, what would it look like? What energy would you like to evoke?
Martin Creed not only makes visual art and turns ready made objects into art, but he also makes music! If you could have a theme song for your life what would it be? You could visually show us the feel of the music you imagine, or by making the music itself. You could also find some sounds and mix them together. What is your theme song?
Lynn Nottage looks to the past in order to inspire her works. With that in mind, think of your favorite summer memory. What was happening? What sounds did you hear? What flavors did you taste?
Community is a strong theme for Theaster Gates. From connecting with his art or creating Artist Retreats, he is always finding a way to connect with his community. What is one thing you would love to do for your community?
Theaster Gates has us look at life in a different perspective. Something ordinary can become extraordinary. Find an object in your home that you are comfortable turning into a work of art and beautify it. What was the object before you tampered with it? What changes did you make to make it just more special?
Theaster Gates encourages us to look at things we normally wouldn’t look at. What is one thing you feel should become more popular and well known? Would it be on the mainstream media or would it be something that is known like traditional storytelling by word of mouth?
Martin Creed has a fun way of exploring art. He takes the normal and makes it exciting. What is one thing that you wish to add some fun magic flare to? In your own artistic medium, show us a before and after of the thing you wish to make fun. This could be an object, a place or even a concept! The world is your playground.
