Why I think we were assigned this project...

I think that the reasoning behind assigning us this is because we are used to our art projects taking shorter amounts of time. Malena was trying to get us to evoke thoughts about our piece over the course of the semester. By creating a project that slowly progresses over 3months we as the artist are forced to view our project in different states of mind on a weekly basis. This gives us better perspective and more ideas of where we could take it.
