[-art, alteration-]
by Nancy Waldman
This example of an Alteration is so simple and so stunning. It’s a collage using CD cases lined with painted paper inserts.
AnnieA created this in what she describes as a “humble offering in celebration of Mozart’s 250th birthday.” It’s a lovely tribute and clever way to re-use and re-purpose those plastic cases.
The artist tells me that she’s created one for her neighbor with a clever twist. It’s a puzzle to arrange. He took it one step farther by making a frame for the cases, backing it with metal and putting magnets on all the CD cases. She says it’s become a game in his kitchen. The painting can be reconfigured by anyone who has the urge! A great idea and collaboration!
Thanks, Rosanne!
Here’s another example of a similar idea that has been used in an elementary school. The cases are filled with clay “paintings’.
Way to go, kids!
Any other clever ideas for using those plastic cases?
