Found Object/ Something from Nothing: Pop Culture Part 1: The Coffee Cup

Due: Wednesday January 14^th

Each designer is given a set of blank white paper coffee cups. In the time allotted each designer should return the blank white coffee cup with a hand-rendered, hand-drawn Objet d'Art.  A “one-of-a-kind” original drawing that takes place on a circular coffee cup. The imagery on the coffee cup should indicate something that is currently in the public eye as popular culture.

Use your imagination. What is trending now in Popular Culture?

What would you do if you had to do a complete series of these cup drawing?

What is your narrative and what resources will you pull from in order to make these a cherished Objet d'Art worthy of being in a museum or part of a collection. What might it look like in a gallery exhibition.

You can do more than one if you choose.  This is part of a 3-part quick turnaround assignment. Be prepared to talk about your reasons for your imagery on the cup as well as how you created the work.

Black and White only.

Any media. Nothing can be applied to the cup via glue or transfer or collage materials. Flat 2D imagery only.The cup is your canvas.
