Jason Lanegans’ art piece, one of a few pieces we are highlighting in our faculty show, is about homes and the memories they contain. In his piece, he compares a home to people. Like a home, we judge a person by what we see on the outside, rarely attempting to take a look at the depth of character that lies on the inside. This week's art project is focused on self-expression, using a home as a symbol of ourselves. Using the example we have created, the exterior of the home is very simple, with minor embellishment. The inside, however, is a different story! Using panels to give the viewer a glimpse at what is inside, use whatever medium you like to express your personality in this project.

Directions:
1 - On sketch paper, draw your home and sketch some ideas of what you want inside your panels.
2 - On the sketched home, decide where you will cut openings in the house to see the inside.
3 - On one of the white papers or in your art journal, draw the house you sketched. Try using a ruler to be as exact as possible.
4 - Cut out the house you’ve drawn.
5 - Cut out openings in the house in the places you chose. These cutouts should have one side attached as a flap for the viewer to uncover.
6 - On another page of your art journal or on your second white paper, trace the house you just cut out.
7 - In the spaces that have cutouts, use any medium to express yourself (I used magazine cutouts in the example)
8 - When you have these panels created, place the cut-out house on top of the tracing.
9 - Glue the cut out to the tracing, leaving the peek-a-boo flaps open, so you can make sure your are aligned.
10 - Fold the openings at the crease to make them easier to open and close.
