Like Kuitca, who painted a map on a mattress, you can make an artwork with ordinary objects. Look through your home for familiar objects (but ask your parents first!) or find something outside and make a sculpture that says something about you. Think about how you want to design your sculpture and how the objects will relate to one another. You may even want to paint your sculpture. Then talk with your friends about your artwork the same way you talked about Kuitca’s, using questions such as “What do you see in this sculpture?” and “What do you see that makes you think that?”
