Stone Soup is an inspiring folk story in which a group of hungry soldiers enters a town looking for food. The townspeople see the men coming and decide to hide all of their food. The soldiers stop at every house but are denied any food. The men then come up with a plan and ask the townspeople for a pot of boiling water and they throw a couple stones in too. The soldiers ask for little things to be put in the soup such as salt and a carrot, eventually every towns person offers something to be entered into the soup making a very appetizing meal for all. The moral of the story shows that participation and cooperation ends in the best results.
With the theme of this story in mind we were asked to bring a bunch of materials that we could use to create anything artistic. Our group put our heads together and came up with an innovation based on the materials that were presented. the bulk of the items that were brought was cardboard, because of this we decided to cut shapes out of the cardboard decorate them with scraps of paper, stickers, paint, etc and then cut slits in them to create something grand. In the end our cardboard and papers turned into a 3-D object. The outcome was planned out but never could have been imagined in its entirety. Our group's teamwork and own experiences created something that none of the other groups had come close to. Different items and different people would definitely not have come up with the same piece of work and that is what is so special about Stone Soup.
Everyone collaborated to make something better than any one person could do on their own, in this way we created out own designer Stone Soup.
