yay final project idea!

The conversation about weak ties and strong ties and how they are created and things like that has sparked an idea for my final project. It kind of came out of the comment that was made about how those not familiar with the art world would be intimidated by places such as Mess Hall. It'll be a sort of DIY getting to know certain artists by turning their work into a paint by numbers that people will color in and sign as that artist, thereby forging a weak tie between those unfamiliar with modern artists and the art community.

Above I have posted the paint by numbers that I have created for people to complete and sign. I will then scan the colored images and post them as well. I'm hoping to find some more images to work with, but taking out the color and turning them into something as simple as a paint by numbers is somewhat difficult with a lot of work, any suggestions of artists or works would be appreciated!

The idea remains forging weak ties to the art world for those who are not usually involved through utilizing a DIY mentality. I am hoping that through this those involved will in the future when confronted with work such as what they colored in, they will feel a connection to it and be able to better relate to it and therefore the contemporary art world at large.

If any of you are interested in participating I can e-mail you the image you'd like to color and then you can print it and scan it or generally find a way to send back the completed thing for me to post here. Although, the point of the project is more for those not yet involved in the art world, at least not as much as those in this seminar but if you'd like to do it for fun anyways I am not opposed.
