In my 2-D art class we attempted the “conceptual” style of art like Sol LeWitt. We were put into groups and were assigned to come up with a set of written instructions of what we wanted done using colored tape. We could designate a specific wall or let the group choose a wall as well as create instructions for a random outcome or specific outcome. After we wrote out our instructions we exchanged with another group. Each group then had to execute the written instructions that were given to them. It was incredibly fun to try to interpret some other group’s instructions and to also see the results of how another group interpreted out set of instructions. I loved the concept of it being a collaborative effort and it allowed the groups to get to know one another at the beginning of the semester.
This is the "conceptual" art my group
created when we read the instructions
written from another group.
This is another creation done by
a group following another group's set
of instrucitons. The one below is another
example too.
This is the outcome from our written
instructions that another group had to read
and interpret. This is how it was
executed.  It wasn't totally how we
envisioned it yet the outcome was
beautiful.
