Clunks treasure hunt challenge!

Hello fellow students!
Well. Ever since finding out that I have to set a project for everybody I have felt 1) Hopeful that I'll come up with a nice art challenge that people will want to do and 2) Guilty that I've been a bit slack in completing other lovely arts challenges that other people have set over the past few weeks.

So, I have tried to catch up with a couple of past challenges - and can hand in this photograph of my beautiful growy polytunnel which is now FULL to the brim with handsome sized tomatoes, peppers, sweetcorn and chilli plants...it is a place that I love.


I have also managed to get a few rough ideas together with my biro's this week. I have made up a funny character. He is a space monkey... but I have been unfortunately lacking in any storyline inspiration. Having seen Elisabeth's challenge for this coming two weeks I am hoping that I might get the chance to carry on what I've started, and do some funny doodly type comic strips with Space monkey over the next couple of weeks...


So, onto my challenge for you.
I really like finding things that I don't expect to see, in places where I least expect to find them. Sometimes it can be very obvious that somebody has left something in a place on purpose, or sometimes I worry that the thing I find has been left behind by accident and that someone might be missing it. Either way though... I always feel like I have found something special that feels a bit like treasure. For this reason, I have decided that I would like us all to try to choose a special place (maybe somewhere that is special to you) and make or find a special thing to leave there for somebody to find. I'd like you to post photographs of the chosen place as well as the object, and also a photo of the object sitting in it's location - ready to be found by a stranger. Hopefully we will bring happiness to some unsuspecting treasure hunters over the coming weeks!


Hopefully some of these might inspire you:




You might fancy making something out of found natural materials - like Andy Goldsworthy...




or




Richard Long.



I also found a few interesting bloggers who make and leave 'found art' - see pocha-foundart.blogspot.com or sherisfoundart.blogspot.com


or look at the link to the toy society - what they do is nice isn't it?
Or, if you want to do something a bit risky you could have a go at something like this...
