The Relix Project: Mapping Life’s Treasures
Brought to you by the Student Association of The Art Institute of Vancouver
What if you had to start over? What would you bring with you? What would you leave behind? We want to give you the chance to express yourself with…
Inspired by The Burning House Project, you now have the opportunity to show everyone what you treasure and why. It can be a family heirloom, or something you need just to get through a difficult day. This is about you, your life, and not how much money you’ve spent on something so be thoughtful!
How does this work? It’s simple.
1) Gather 10 (max) of your most precious items
2) Arrange them creatively and take a photo, or if you’re feeling creative you can draw it or paint it, as long as it’s clear what the objects are in a 10”x10” image
3) Write a maximum of 250 words on why these objects are special to you
4) Submit your image and write up by email to therelixproject@gmail.com by June 17, 2012 6pm.
All selected entries will be displayed and exhibited for an extended time in the Art Gallery the following quarter. Prizes will be announced shortly, so stayed tuned to notices around school. Winners will be determined by a panel of judges, as well as the student body.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at therelixproject@gmail.com!
We can’t wait to see your entries!
