Her heart is currently on display in a professor's office at the College of Medicine at UBC (there's a whole story about how Andrea's heart got stolen...but it's not something I can post about here). I think of her as an artist, but does she? I'll have to ask.
I think a great open ended art project would be the one that she created the heart for. The med students were asked to create and submit a representation of a heart, they could use any medium. The entries varied from a photograph, taken from an airplane of a city with a heart-shaped area of town to detailed drawings and sculpture. Something like this could be a very interesting science/art connection and students, especially older students who have had more exposure to different art mediums, could really create something amazing.
That is so cool! I love the heart. I am always amazed with people who can take yarn and knit and crochet without really thinking about it first, just do it as they go - so very neat.
ReplyDeleteI am constantly impressed with people who can visualize something and then make it happen with yarn or fabric or lace. I do not have the ability to do that, I've tried and I can copy others, but I think I'd need years of practice before I became confident enough and competent enough to create a pattern on my own.

DeleteWow. That's pretty crazy. I am going to show that to my human body obsessed roommate, and I am positive it will rock her world. Art is such a great way to add a visual element to other subjects.
