The Grass is Greener Here

Whiteboard sketch of cow and man with green hair sproutingThe sketches that students did for our Portfolio Show theme were heavy on grass and picket fences, but scattered amidst the boring grassy fields were a couple of interesting possibilities.

One featured pictures of cows, offering a different point of view (the cow's) on those blades of grass.

Another showed a jealous student, presumably from another school, looking at the "greener" scene on the Tri-C student's monitor.

A couple of other ideas were verbal extensions of the theme, like The grass is greener here, brought to you by our fertile mInds.

So I gave the 4-5 students who'd come up with the best ideas ten minutes to brainstorm new improved versions. The result was a cow sitting next to a man with grass sprouting on his head, looking at monitors. Sort of a collage of three of the earlier ideas. Probably too much to try to cram into a single concept, but OK for ten minutes' thought. After a short discussion with the entire class we adjourned for the night.

Next week we'll see where the ideas have evolved to.
