Daily Walk: Exploration #4

As promised, I remain dedicated to finishing all of the explorations from How To Be An Explorer Of The World: Portable Art Life Museum by Keri Smith. My latest assignment is called Daily Walk.


Exploration #4:


DAILY WALK


Collect objects only on your way to work or school every day. (Try to collect thirty.)


Well, I work at home and don't go to school, so I am just going to have to go out on a few walks strictly for the task. Honestly, it isn't like I need an excuse to get outside and enjoy the beautiful Fall weather!


I was going to walk the Finley River walking trail for this exploration, but then at the last minute decided I might have better luck if I walked down by the old Ozark Mill. It didn't take long to find thirty objects.

3. The security tape from a CD

4. Spiky ball from a sweet gum tree

5. Wad of purple thread

6. Metal wire

7. Air Head candy wrapper

I liked this project for several reasons. First of all, it got me to go outside and enjoy the fresh air. Secondly, I helped to clean up trash from the area, and last of all, I liked creating a piece of 'art' from cast away objects. 

Do you ever collect things when you are out enjoying nature? What is the coolest or most unusual object you have found on the ground? If you get a chance, please share in the comments section below. That's all for now!
