She’s no industry plant — these tributes came about organically.
While there’s no shortage of fans celebrating their musical favorites digitally, tangible tributes – from friendship bracelets to Etsy creations – seem to be making a comeback lately. With that in mind, a Midwestern biostatistics teacher has found a particularly novel way to honor her musical icons while going against the digital grain.
The benefits went beyond getting students to pay more attention. Several of them reached out to Shore to share that she inspired them to dust off their own creative outlets, helping their mental health in the process.That’s certainly a benefit the statistician can relate to. While Shore says formal meditation doesn’t work for her, she can disconnect while doing crop art, which requires “just enough attention that my mind doesn’t wander, and just enough physical activity that I don’t get antsy.
Buoyed by the success, Shore kept gluing seeds to boards, growing as an artist and learning about textures and perspective . “I print out the image from the album and trace around the edges,” Shore, who now teaches a crop art course on the side, explains of her go-to starting point. “White chia and white quinoa are really good for white; wild rice, canola and poppy are really good for black.”
