I took a pair of my old pointe shoes for my recycled art project. One of the shoes is black and the other white with words cut out from an old magazine. The two shoes are contrasting colors and the bed of the shoe is painted the opposite color. The words also pop against the black and white. The meaning behind this piece of work is to show the good and bad side of dance. The black shoe is filled with struggles that dancers have to face everyday. The white shoe is the pros of dancing and reasons to love dance. Overall I am pleased with the final product. At first I didn't really have a plan and I wasn't too sure where I was taking it but I am happy with what I did. It sends a powerful message and really shows both sides of dance.
