With that being said, my mother also thought is was pretty, well, dumb for lack of a better word, that I would just break something for my art class. It was pretty comical, in my opinion, but I was happy to contribute something that would make our set up a little more interesting. “Broken, for the sake of art!!”, my professor exclaimed. When I presented my object, I was greeted with shock that I would actually shatter something to make it interesting for a still life. Everyone brought in your typical items a bowl, a more stylized vase, some pine cones, flowers and twigs found outside, and of course, some objects from the still life shelf. After venturing over to my parent’s house and practically begging my mother for one of her vases from the plethora which is her collection, I shattered one, and brought it in to class.

I thought I would alter one of those objects, and bring in something that was usually expected, but had become unexpected. It’s filled with a variety of bottles, bowls, and random objects which would be contained in your typical still life. Now, when thinking of the unexpected, anything on that shelf doesn’t come to mind. She mentioned the importance of the “unexpected”, showed us a few examples, and then said that if we were unable to think of an object, we could always borrow from the classroom still life shelf. When my watercolor professor said that the class was going to work on a still life set up and we all needed to bring something in, I started thinking of what could be interesting.
