Transformation Art Project Brainstorm List

For our next project in art, we are to transform an every day object into something else. Laurie showed us lots of awesome examples and I compiled a list of objects I could possibly use.

1. chop sticks
2. sugar cubes
3. beef bouillon cubes?!
4. chocolate chip cookiesw
5. toothpicks
6. cutlery
7. ipad
8. film
9. light bulbs
10. toilet paper rolls
11. matches
12. cell phones
13. baby doll
14. pink flamingo
15. clothes
16. money
17. wallet
18. reward cards (from albertsons, best buy, fred meyer, etc)
19. gum balls

After asking some of my peers questions about these objects, I found something interesting about the beef bouillon cubes. People associated them with flavor, soup, broth, but never... COW.

Since beef is a cow, it made me think of how fake they actually are. They have nothing to do with cows, because its all just fake flavoring. I think doing some kind of cow sculpture out of them would be an interesting narrative about the food industry, what we consider "food", and how we as consumers choose food to buy.
