Create an embarrassing object. | Geof Oppenheimer | The Art Assignment

Pre-order our book YOU ARE AN ARTIST (which includes new assignments!) here: http://bit.ly/2kplj2h

This assignment comes to you from Chicago based artist Geof Oppenheimer. Geof's work reflects personal experience and the social and political atmosphere they were created in, and he wants you to make an object that does the same.

John Green and Sarah Green then discusses what embarrasses us overtime and what we no longer find embarrassing. Sarah then takes us to art history to show where the "Idealized Body" began.

INSTRUCTIONS - Embarrassing Object
1. Create something that makes you feel uncomfortable, out of a material or group of materials
