Create a work of art surrounding one of these given themes!

Inside/Out

Above & Below

Order/Disorder

Inside/Out: You can take this prompt more literally by asking yourself…What’s it to be on the inside, looking out? Imagine a point of view that people do not typically think about. For example, what is the milk carton’s point of view, looking out from the fridge? Instead of drawing from our point of view…outside looking in…try it differently. (This is what is usually referred to as ‘thinking outside the box’.)

Or when we think about the fridge in our homes, we envision the outside, a clunky, rectangular form.

Here is another point of view:

There are other objects and items in our everyday life that we do the same with. For instance, cars are another object that we usually identify with from the outside. What about under the hood, or from within?

 Or maybe it is just represented with extreme perspective:

Order/Disorder:
