Object lists

We had an assignment to pick three ordinary objects and write a list of their formal and contextual qualities. This exercise is for our next assignment. The object that I have decided to use for this assignment is the marshmallow. I want to create something non-representational that is created with marshmallows, but doesn't look like marshmallows. Instead of something soft and fluffy I want something that is hard and jagged. We shall see how it turns out...

Water Bottle:


Context:
disposable, wasteful, universal, purified, harmful plastic, nasty water

Formal:
clear, glossy, curvy, smooth, hollow, cylindrical

Soap:

Formal:
slick, bubbly, white, blocky, rectangular, smooth, waxy

Context:
clean, discipline, disposable, animal fat

Marshmallow:


Formal:
white, pink, or green, fluffy, squishy, small or large, cylindrical, light weight, sugary, sticky

Context:
camping, roasting, grandma's, snacks, unhealthy, comfort, eat with other things

  1. Hey Kiersten! great blog. You've got some good artist entries and all the required entries. Remember that artist entries count separately from the minimum two entries/week. So that means 30 entries plus the two entries per week. Other than that you are doing a great job!
