I was really interested in Ken Vieth's Contemporary Conceptualization of a Totem Pole project. It is a collaborative project that still represents each student on an individual level. However, the magic of the work exists when all the pieces are joined together to form one piece of art. Students also obtain unity through the use of color and the task of assembling each image in order to form a whole. The totem poles are composed from symbolic images that represent each student and embody aspects of their identity and personality.
I love that this collaborative project also calls for displaying the finished product in a public place. I found this sample image in From Ordinary to Extraordinary interesting to look at. Although many of the pieces reveal an expansive variety of shapes, they all visually cooperate with one another.
