Using objects found around their living spaces, students were encouraged to create a diorama, or scene with the objects that told a story.  Using this creative prompt as a means to begin exploring in more depth, principles of composition, and perspective to create an interesting and engaging piece of work dealing with storytelling and space.  The concept is loosely inspired by the works of Lewis Chamberlain and John Brosio.

A portmanteau is a linguistic blend of words, such as cyborg (cybernetic + organism), skyscraper (sky + scraper), and Brexit (Britain + exit), whereas a compound is a combination of two words, like karaoke (karappo + okesutura, or empty + orchestra in English) and skyscraper (sky + scraper). Choose an existing portmanteau, or devise one of your own, then make a sculpture of it by casting it in plaster or another material of your choice.
