Assignment: Make sketches of your object in a fantasy world.

Situation 1- a wannabe Dorothy uses her heels to travel through time. In the machine, she runs into 24th century chic and Victorian era guy. She’s excited! 24th century chic is not impressed. This is a regular routine for her. She leaves. Dorothy wannabe strikes convo with Victorian era guy and let’s him in on a secret.

Situation 2- the heel as a “playa hatah”. Used to zap women that your boy stares at and flirts with.

Situation 3- the heels act as a tool to through closets of your prior generations. Another way of seeing the heel as a method of time travel.

Situation 4- the heels act as a cell phone.

Situation 5- the heels help you dance to a specified genre you input on the dance floor.

Assignment: Perform a “case study” of the high heel. Visualize it in 25-50 ways.
