This group chose to create an artwork that explored their hidden anxieties and fears. In making their artwork, some students found they shared some of the same fears. What object would you use to represent your most hidden fear? Can you identify the fears of the artists based on their objects?

What is conceptual art?
In conceptual art, the concept or idea behind a work is prioritized over aesthetics, materials, and craftsmanship. Conceptual art asks questions about the nature of art, art making, and the role of the artist, as well as broader questions about life. Much of conceptual art relies on viewer participation/perception and can be experienced by turns as humorous, serious, anti-authoritarian, overly intellectual, or just plain nonsense. You decide!
