Beuys was a German born artist, from the 1950s through the early 1980s he became attached the Conceptual and Fluxus movements. His diverse body of work ranges from traditional media of drawing, painting, and sculpture. There were reoccurring motifs in works suggesting that art, common materials, and one's "everyday life" were ultimately inseparable. Why did he think that? What are some things in his every day life that he considered art From roughly the 1950s through the early 1980s, Beuys demonstrated how art might originate in personal experience yet also address universal artistic, political, and/or social ideas, these ideas came out in his 1965 solo performance, How to Explain Pictures to a Dead Hare, in which materials of personal significance suggest the possible healing of art for a humanity seeking self revitalization and a sense of renewed hope in the future.
I plan to create three minutes of performance that will emulate his ideas, while using a few different set of actors in various areas of Tampa. In this work I will question what people do in everyday life, and how art can relate to their every day activities.
My film will be filmed with my iPhone, and will include multiple actors who can do the Job right. It will include every day objects in life and how they can be brought into art, and how art can affect those every day objects as well. I hope to speak to my audience and try and get them to see that they shouldn't take everyday objects for granted.
My performance will follow the tone that Beuys left, it will respect and acknowledge every day objects and how every little thing can be turned into art. I want to make life and art into one, combine them to make something beautiful that will mean something to someone.
Some equipment that will be involved is my camera, a secure and scenic location on campus, and a few actors that can accurately portray what I want my audience to get out of my piece of work.

People should view and listen to my work because I have been there when I have take things for granted and have gotten burned because of it. I have lost things that I have cared about deeply and I don't want people to have to go through the same things. I would like people to learn from my past experiences.
Closing Statement: I hope to make a piece of work that appeals to people in need of some hope in their life, someone that needs help. I want my work to speak to all different types of people, even people who didn't think they were interested in art in the first place. Additionally I want my work to have a major impact on someone. Maybe they are going through a tough time in their life? Maybe they just lost someone they love?
