paintbrush activity/project 3

The class creativity activity that we did today was very, well, creative! Definitely one of the exercises that got my mind thinking of crazy ideas. We had to think of 10 different ways to use a paintbrush, other than painting of course. At first my mind went blank and thought 'who would use a paintbrush as something else except for painting?' and than I thought it could be used as a broom if you attach them to the bottom of your shoes, or you could attach it to the back of the door as a door blocker, so that the doors do not hit the walls. And then my mind went crazy with ideas, other ideas that I came up with included using the paintbrush as a filter when making lemonade or orange juice, using it to apply body wash in the shower, using the bristles to make hemp-like bracelets, or whicker furniture, and carrying the paintbrush with you in the ocean to keep seaweed away from you. Who would of ever thought that a simple paintbrush could be used in several different ways? Now I have been wondering what other common household objects can I use in several different ways? I guess I will have to  find out for myself!
Project 3 is a self designed project, and our group came up with great ideas for this project. We are going to  make 'nutrition cards' that include various nutrition facts about different foods throughout the campus and hand them out to students entering the dining halls. Some of the cards will include nutrition facts from the Italian Kitchen, The Salad Bar, The Wraps at the AF, and several other places that the students have suggested. By doing this, we hope that the students will read out cards and choose the healthier option when ordering their food. Another thing we are doing is making a powerpoint that includes the research, preparation, and action that went into making and handing out these cards. In this powerpoint we will also include secret video clips, which I can not talk about until the presentation of project 3, it may put you into shock or extreme excitement, so you will have to wait!
