Conclusion and References

As shown in this exhibit, pairing artwork with everyday writing stimulates the creation of knowledge and meaning by creating an interdependent message across dual media. While the art pieces in this exhibit could certainly stand on their own, the contextualization of these artifacts through everyday writing expands upon and magnifies the meanings of each art piece. Furthermore, the materiality of both art and writing have the capacity to impact the sentimental value and intended meaning of any composition. Artwork and everyday writing are two forms of communication that we see everywhere in the world, and the combination of the two results in significant creations with powerful messages.
