If I were an art professor, I’d make a “Watermelon Project.” The students would walk into class and see a table piled high with watermelons and a spread of kitchen knives of various sizes and styles. They would have the whole class period to use their watermelons to explore shape and space, and they would have to present something to the class at the end of the period. Some students might build structures, some might experiment with geometry, some might paint watercolours with the juice, some might carve stamps out of the rind, some might photograph themselves eating it…
