This summer I was on a team of local artists responsible for transforming downtown benches into new public art.  This multi-month project involved loads of community collaboration with all sorts of Iowa City people young and old, artist and non-artist.  We took the various ideas presented to us and applied them in ways which emphasized individuality within a framework of cohesion. A news article about the project:  http://www.press-citizen.com/viewart/20130719/NEWS01/307190025/Follow-puzzles During the process, we created an incredible standalone art workbook for generating new ideas.  Please use it for your own purposes, it can be viewed/downloaded HERE.
