1) hey Post Card Group--what do you want to do? Maybe we can talk at the beginning of class tomorrow night for a second...I can think of a few ideas so far: -we send drawing/art on postcards to people -we get people to send art on postcards to us -we leave postcards around town to be sent back to us -we get some class of kids somewhere to send postcards to other kids somewhere totally different -we do the same as the last but with some kind of group of adults -we ask people for things like memories or answers to an odd question or drawing from memory or maybe a text that they know by heart--like the pledge of allegiance, the lord's prayer, hamlet, etc--or who knows what....final idea, some kind of mosaic/collage that gets split up between a bunch of postcards and then someone has to assemble it.
2)on Planning
so i've been thinking more about planning and painting versus a more intuitive, grope around in the dark approach and here's what i have so far from my friend photoshop and some photos of the (not sure here about the stats) 6th largest city in the world
i love the idea of connecting our friends/ artists from other places. Should we connect them to this glob. Are we moving in that direction?
ReplyDeleteHow should we go about with the image or non images on the postcards?
Should it be a collaborative postcard with us.. with them?

xtina and matt, I love the idea as well, should we begin to mail them now and if so, perhaps it would be cool to see what it is that we created and mailed? Or we could get together and make them. You know, a few years ago this was a method for other artist friends and I to be stimulated while working in corporate america. We found ourselves wanting to make art but not really making the time to do it. We printed a list of everyone's address on a sheet of paper and we were to mail one postcard a week to everyone on the list until we had circulated through it once. We kept this up for a few months and it was a lot of fun to receive work from people that I did not know. Inevitably the relationships grew and we learned so much about the importance of a supportive community.
