In an attempt to branch out of our comfort zone and to show that you can
create something out of anything, my design class took part in creating multiple batches of stone soup. I thoroughly enjoyed this activity because there was no possible way that you could make a mistake; you could put anything together in any order and it would still be an interesting design. My group brought extremely varied and interesting materials with which we created our own unique stone soup. Some of these materials included water bottles, boxes, flowers, christmas ornaments, paint, streamers, and even potpourri. Although many groups did sketches of possible designs they could create out of the materials, my group decided to get straight to the crafting with no specific expectations or pre-planning. We each created something individually and then, together, combined all of the separate creations afterwards. I thought the final design was very interesting and aesthetically pleasing. I like my group because everyone is willing to be spontaneous and take risks in order to get a finished product that we are all pleased with. Here are a few images of my group working with our materials and the finished piece that we ended up creating:
