Parsons: Explore something overlooked within your familiar surroundings and daily life. Choose one object, event, activity, or location.

Interpret your discovery through 3 pieces of art using any medium. Support each piece of art with an essay of 250 words each. The series you create should convey a conceptual and creative response of the subject matter you have chosen to discover. Acceptable media can be any visual art form such as: drawing, video, photography, sculpture, 3D work, collage, digital images, etc. All 3 pieces of art may be created with the same media, or different mediums. Your work will be evaluated on the concept conveyed through your writing and visuals and the relationship you create between the two.
