To remove........To collect........MP5.....


Action words: Remove, Collect

When I got these two action words I looked at objects that I use in a day-to-day biases and asked myself does it remove anything? Does it collect anything? To my surprise almost everything did either one or both of these action words. Although my favorite of them was a simple object that almost everyone uses. That object was a spoon. I choose a spoon because I use it every morning when I eat breakfast. I use it when I eat oatmeal or when I eat cercal.  While using my spoon I paid attention to how I use it and what I use it for. I use it to collect the oatmeal or the cercal in my bowl and then I use it to remove that food from the bowl and into my mouth. I found it fascinating that while it is removing and collecting it is also doing the complete opposite. While the spoon collects each individual oat in my honey bunches of oats cercal it is also separating the oats from all the other oats in the bowl and is also separating the oats from the bowl as well. I notice that when the spoon is removing the food is also doing the opposite and is inserting food and calories into my body.   
       In my final work are three different pictures of a spoon. While looking at the three different pictures you hear the sound of me eating cercal with my spoon one morning. I like how you can hear the sound of all the collected cercal in my mouth being crunch down and chewed. I also like that the sound of me chewing. This is because it would not of happened if my spoon wouldn’t of collected all the cercal on to my spoon and removed the cercal from the bowl and into my mouth. I like how my final piece worked out. I also like how it isn’t just spelled out to the viewer that my action words were remove and collect. I like that the viewer has to think deeper to how a spoon can represent the two action words, remove and collect.
