Art as a Social Practice

Artwork is unique to every individual. I am sure everyone has their own opinion about the "Mona Lisa" as well as a reasoning as to why it was painted. Artwork can connect people in ways that you would never imagine possible. Everyone has their own unique story, their own piece of artwork, but if we step back and look past the obvious differences, we may find some similarities in ourselves. This project will be a collaboration of many different stories, but they may all connect in some way. Through the presentation of our mugs, our stories will be seen, or heard by many people that have no idea who we are. They will learn things about people that may never even meet, or possibly could one day. We will never know. I think this project is very interesting and will be very successful in showing people how artwork can inform and inspire.
