Smarts and Crafts

Who: teams of 2-5 people (the MLC with the highest percentage participation will be given a group photo.)

Your mission: to create an object in either of the categories specified below using only non-perishable, recyclable materials (e.g. paper, cardboard, plastic, glass, metal) that you collect. You must transport your object to the Diag on Thursday, October 2 by 2pm for judging.. Entries will be judged on originality, functionality, and design. The top three entries in each category will receive prizes and the entries will be displayed in The Michigan Union.

Categories: Around and About Campus (e.g. backpack, computer case, article of clothing), In the Reshall (e.g. table, chair, rug, bookshelf)

Art in an Hour

Who: teams of 2-5 people (the MLC with the highest percentage participation will be given a group photo.)

Your mission: to create a work of art on the theme of energy or sustainability using only non-perishable, recyclable materials (e.g. paper, cardboard, plastic, glass, metal) that will be provided to you. You must construct your artwork on the Diag in an hour or less on Thursday, October 2 between 11am and 3pm. (In the event of inclement weather, the location will be in front of the Haven Hall Posting Wall.) Since a Liberal Arts education is all about making connections and putting things together, each team will be given a kit of connective/adhesive materials and an object to be incorporated in their project. Entries will be judged both on aesthetics and how well they address the theme. The top three teams will receive prizes and the entries will be displayed in The Michigan Union.
