During her career as a public university teaching assistant, Ting Fang (Claire) Chien observed many students who were not enrolled in an art degree program ("non-art-major students") struggle with studio art projects. As a result, she developed the Daily Life Object Project (DLOP) to show these students that art is connected to and present in their daily lives. The project aimed to encourage students to (1) make personal connections to the artmaking process; (2) relate to an art topic and consumerism through rethinking their consumer behavior by exploring material culture; and (3) explore material connections by considering daily consumed objects as an art medium. The goal upon completing the project was for students who initially had insecurities about making art to increase their confidence in future projects or assignments. In facilitating the DLOP, she investigated two questions: (1) whether art projects that were related to non--art majors' daily lives could elicit better connections between them and art, and (2) if students could become less insecure in making art by experimenting with projects that utilized non--fine arts media to create art beyond realistic representations. In this article, she will present her design and facilitation of the DLOP in the general education art course Exploring Art and Visual Culture (ARE130) offered for non-art-major undergraduate students in the spring semester of 2017. To demonstrate her findings, she will present three students' artworks.
