2013 Atlanta Canstruction Competition
The 15th annual Atlanta Canstruction Competition is held from Nov.8~Nov.17 in Colony Square, whose address is 1197 Peachtree Street. Competing teams are supposed to use canned and packaged food to create sculptures. After the exhibition, all the food they use and additional donations will be donated to the Atlanta Community Food Bank.
Using caned and packaged food to create is a great idea and a big challenge for creative thinking. I personally love such creative art, especially the element of art relate to real life, which makes art closer to me. Some works attract my eyes. For instance, above picture is one of my favorite movie. I can see a good structure made of some familiar food, which is interesting in me. In addition, I approve the way that all income of the exhibition will be donated to Food Bank to help people. Such activity can usually encourage me to participate because I can enjoy a good exhibition and help people at the same time.
(Agreement)
I really like the title of competition, “Canstruction”! I also agree with your opinion about this event’s idea and intention; it’s very creative, efficient, and also philanthropic. Usually, art are not considered as a practical thing. Although art pieces themselves may have value which can be transferred to money, we cannot actually use them in our life in most cases. However, I think this competition allows arts to connect creativity and efficiency. It is very interesting factor that these cans are not opened. Every block of the pieces has a real value for hungers as well as artistic value. Purchasing and gathering material (cans) might have had double meaning also; for the artwork and also for people. Through this event, more donations and money may be made for hungers. The most amazing part of this competition seems to be the last step; breaking the artwork for sharing their philanthropy.
