An Apple a Day Keeps the _____ Away
Apple (n.) 1 : the fleshy usually rounded red, yellow, or green edible pome fruit of a usually cultivated tree (genus Malus) of the rose family; also : an apple tree — compare crab apple
2 : a fruit (as a star apple) or other vegetative growth (as an oak apple) suggestive of an apple
When looking around my dorm to see what I had a collection of, I instantly thought of Apple products. I’m a loyal consumer of Apple products (except for their headphones) and realized that a majority of the everyday things I use are Apple products. My collection included
1. Macbook Pro
2. Macbook Pro charger
3. Ipod Nano
4. Iphone
5. Iphone outlet adapter
6. Iphone headset
7. Apple USB Cord
8. Ipod to TV converter
The discussion that we had about the projects had definitely helped me expand my view on this project. One of the suggestions I had received was to make an “Apple Tree”. For my project, I’m going to create a tree with the Macbook Pro as its base. I need to figure out how to create the branches and the trunk, but from these branches, I’ll be hanging each of my items off of them. It’s going to be an interesting project to display, but my hope for my presentation to be unique.
Reproduction: I was planning to add an apple, literally, but with the apple replicating the Apple symbol. I was also thinking about recreating each of my items through a drawing/painting or sculpture.

Hi David,
ReplyDeleteSounds good. You might think about: Why do they call it Apple? What does the apple symbolize? How might you mess with this archetype of the apple to expand our understanding of what the computer company does? How can you make excellent drawings of each of your items, that reproduce your items and sculptures, and also surprise us, tell us something we don't know?
Have fun
