Copy a Copy a Copy | Molly Springfield | The Art Assignment

Pre-order our book YOU ARE AN ARTIST (which includes new assignments!) here: http://bit.ly/2kplj2h This week we meet D.C. based artist Molly Springfield. Molly's graphite drawings transform texts into images, and her assignment for you asks you to consider how repeating a process can turn a copy into an original. INSTRUCTIONS - Copy A Copy A Copy 1. Select a page from a book and make a photocopy of it 2. Make a photocopy of the photocopy and make changes, if you like, by enlarging, reducing, etc. 3. Repeat step #2 until the original has been transformed into a new image 4. Upload the final copy using #theartassignment (Extra credit if you make a work in a new medium!) 5. Fame and glory (Your work might be in a future episode) Learn more about Molly's work: https://mollyspringfield.com/home.html We then discussed artists like Mel Bochner that used the photocopier in their conceptual art since its beginnings.
