Blog #4: Found Art project

The project assigned was to make a "podium" with objects and writing explaining your theme. Our theme was Gay Rights in the 1970's. We included information and pictures of Harvey Milk, Moscone, and the people that were against it like Anita Bryan and Dan White. We picked items like stickers, rainbows, peace signs, and hearts. Basically the 70's was freedom and hippies, so it seemed appropriate to put happy thoughts on to it. The stickers say things like "Keep your laws off my body" and "Keep hope alive". We also included a patch with the Gay flag on it. There are also lots of quotes that explain the situation in the 70's.

We figured the best place to get the items we wanted was to go to Haight Street and Castro Street in San Francisco. Castro street was a historical place for gay supporters. Now a days they sell great items for what we needed. 

I think we did a good job, but if I hate to do something different I would have spent more time in Castro! Also to have painted the box because there are some areas that show the cardboard. But asside from that, everything is just the way we wanted it to be.

The advice that I would give is follow all the milestones for the total credit. Do things early so you're not left with lots of things to do in little time. Also, make sure that the whole group works together and its not every man for himself or only one person working.
