Host: MC
This was a straightforward, slightly goofy, and especially fun project. Members collaborated on the week leading up to the meeting on what materials to get, settling on traditional dried beans, with the addition of aquarium rocks to provide a little extra color. Most members did a small amount of image-reference research, but in the spirit of BANOS, improvisation and on the spot creation and problem-solving was encouraged. Host Milton scavenged some wooden boards and primed them with a thin layer of neutral gray in the afternoon.
MC's snail with cigarettes
DH's Native American iconography
MR's portrait of his daughters, though most members agreed it's
really a portrait of his younger daughter with his wife
NG's bandito
Most members went figurative, and even Derick's decision to employ symbology rather than a figurative depiction of a person or thing shows how the media helped determine the subject matter. As you can see in the faces on Mike's and Nathan's, or the text on Milton's, the challenges as well as more rewarding aspects of the pieces were a product of using a fairly large shape as the smallest increment, or pixel of sorts.
