Art 410 Conceptual Strategies: Chance Operation; Bouncy Balls paint Box

For our chance operation system we wanted to make a system that would produce a visual piece of work using paint as the primary medium.

What we began developing was a constructed cube that we would drop in bouncy balls that were dipped in paint and then shake the cube and see what would result.

Materials:
1. Six 3"x3" white foam board pieces
2. Two small bouncy balls
3. red paint & black paint
4. tape
5. Dice

Procedure:
1. Assemble a cube with foam board, and cut a small flap on the top side to drop in the bouncy balls. Tape together the sides to make the cube.
2. On the top left corners of each side write a number 1-6, with a directional arrow 'up', which would designate in what order and direction to lay down the sides when done.
3. Roll a pair of dice to get a random number of minutes for how long to shake balls in the cube.
We landed on 4, so would shook the cube 4 minutes.

4. Dip each ball half way in paint, one in black paint, and the other in red paint.
