- Changing Perceptual Reponses to an Object by Making it Larger: Select a subject that is normally small, like a paper clip, nail clipper, watch, corkscrew, small electrical or mechanical parts, bugs or other small creatures, etc. and recreate it on a giant scale. (can be a soft sculpture from fabric and flexible materials sewn and stuffed, or from rigid structures by using cardboard and tape)
- Creating as aesthetic object from an Abandoned Derelict object: Find an interesting object from the garage, attic, flea market, or secondhand store. Transform the object by covering its entire surface with textural materials; mosaic, pebbles glass, mirrors, feathers, flocking, yarn, paper, sand photos, rope, coins, or other smaller objects.
- Skeleton of a Mythological Creature: Select a theme based on a mythological character or legendary beast: Big Foot, Lochness Monster, Griffin, Cyclops, Cyborg, Troll, any beast from Harry Potter. Using clay, fashion a skull, skeleton, or anatomical fragment of this legendary beast….then place this “evidence” in a display box!
- Creating a Surreal Portrait: Get a Styrofoam wig head, or create a head from wadded up newspaper that has been taped to form the approximate shape of a head. Then, transform it: add cloth, leather, buttons, rope, mechanical gadgets, bottle caps, wool, hat, paint, etc.
- Create a Surreal Monument: Make up an imaginary event that would rival a performance in the Guinness Book of Records, or choose an actual record from the book. Then create a trophy, monument, or shrine that recognizes and pays tribute to the meritorious achievement.
