Art Machine

Last week I was listening to NPR's science Friday when they began talking about a project they were doing. They wanted everyone to invent a machine that could create art. So after thinking about it for awhile, I came up with the very crude, simple machine you see below. I tied paint brushes and rocks to a limb, then pulled back the rocks, letting gravity propel them towards the brushes, smooshing and dabbing paint on the paper as the brushes moved with the force of the rocks. The result wasn't very pleasing as you can see. But I enjoyed the challenge and will listen to see what the project for next month will be. Maybe I'll give it a go as well.
