With summer break just around the corner, especially for those of us in high school where exam break has already been the official start of our summer, you can’t help but wonder, what are you going to do for the next two months? Most people will be partying, no doubt. But amidst the nights hanging out out with friends, why not start a summer project? Start by taking a look around your house, surely you can find a wall that looks like it could use some sprucing up, some more flair, a dash of uniqueness. Personally I could find at least four (yeah, I’m talking about the walls in my room). Now consider what you would do to that wall. Simply you can apply a fresh coat of paint in your favourite colour, or you can go out and really make it worthwhile.
ReadyMade is a website that provides a collection of projects, all meant to spark the “innovator inside each one of us.” I came across a project that caught my attention as one I would do within a heartbeat, (provided my parents would let me). It is one that incorporates wallpaper with mural, literature with art. As a literary enthusiast and an artist, there could not have a better fit. Each wall showcases a poetic merge between the wall and the art on it. It doesn’t stop at a book and an image though! Think of all the combinations you can do with this. Take apart Moby Dick and draw a boat, gather vintage maps of France and draw the Eiffel Tower, even find Batman comics and draw the Bat-Signal! The possibilities are truly endless! It may seem difficult but thankfully the website provides step-by-step instructions on how to do it, as it does for each of their projects. If this one doesn’t quite fit your vision, take a look around the website, there are plenty of other projects that you can do!
