Art Project Ideas??

Teddi

hey...im currently doing this project in art college at the mo...focusing on sweets that hurt you...(i know..sounds weird)

my first culprit is a Toblerone, those lil bastids can hurt ya!..shape etc..

the project probes fun at the flaws of design within these products..others are sweets that cut the inside of your mouth..

the toblerone one i have already created....if you notice on the packet..theres an icon of a mountain...im changing that to a broken tooth...and the name changed to 'Tobreakurone' (i.e...your teeth)...

i will be doing Visual Communication and i was wondering what ideas you guys might have about hazardous sweets?..or confectionary in general?...odd request i know...but if you have any ideas....please..let me know

thanks

All kind of "glassy" sweets (think old skool bulls-eyes etc...) splinter and cut the hell out of the inside of your mouth, or maybe thats just me ?
Interesting project idea though ... very different ?

billy connolly talks about toblerones on one of his dvds. he calls them little alps. might be worth watching before you finish your project

Yeah, interesting topic, doesn't sound too exciting at first, but as with anything in art, once u get into it; It's great.

I was thinking about, you know those things that like snap and crackle in your mouth, like fizzy, maybe you could play on that idea. I dont know.

If I think of anything,m I'll post it up or pm you.

Toblerone is a good idea. What about some blood on the toblerone to signify the penetrative dangers of the drastid stuff.

And boiled sweets that are hazardous to dental fillings. Picture a boiled sweet with a tooth stuck to it, or a filling embedded in it.

Try and listen to a Monty Python sketch - "Crunchy Frog". Not for your project, just for a laugh.

pringles and those cool pop things both of them rip the side of yer mouth open after ye've eaten them
