Art 101, Period 4, Class 13 (Monday 12-17)

"I'm afraid today is the end of our time together," Steve said ruefully. "Today is your final. It's also an art show. I was going to give you a test, but then I remembered art isn't about tests. So, you'll have ten minutes to complete any last-minute setup on your mixed media projects, then, you may circulate, look at one another's projects, chat, and enjoy grape juice and cheese. Your ten minutes begin...now."

Below, on the canvas, was an elaborate series of slashes and swirls in wide, broad strokes, various different colors but mostly red and black. Cleverly placed, glued, and sometimes embedded into the canvas itself, were metal parts, some of them in their natural found forms, like the rusty Chevy steering wheel, some melded into shapes and curves to correspond with the paint behind it as they moved out of the canvas. Loops of piping, carefully decorated with lines of colorful wire in the grooves, made brief appearances, surfacing and disappearing against through the canvas around strokes of blue.
