How to bring out your art potential? Traditionally, people may bury themselves in learning1skills at a studio and begin from drawing lines. However, Wiebe from School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan, has her own2. She is trying to do something that shows her love for art and also benefits the3.
4by a group of old ladies in Canada who plant sustainable art materials and5their videos on YouTube, Wiebe learned about how to plant, harvest and separate fibers. She planted different fruits and vegetables traditionally used to dye(染色)6. She then put their peels into boiled water to make a dye. For her, it's a7process but enjoyable.
Wiebe plans to eventually buy some land in Detroit to grow these8art materials. "I'd set it up like a co-operative where artists can9a few hours a week and then freely use all the10that I grow," she told Minnesota News.
Wiebe also likes fiber-based art, such as quilting, sewing and weaving. She has11those techniques to her recent works, displayed as part of the annual Senior Exhibition at her school. The first is a quilt made of pieces of her father's pants and12with pieces of her family's clothing. The second is a towel she13from one of her used sweaters-with an accompanying video showing her14.
"I've been drawing since I was . It's never been a question for me that I would do something art-related, but rather what more specific art-related thing I'll15doing." said Wiebe.
