The altering of coins can be seen as early as the 1850s, but became an art in the year 1913, with the introduction of the buffalo nickel. In the next 77 years following, it would have its own artists, with each generation contributing in their own quiet way to an underground art. I know that the altering of coins is a federal offense (the destruction of government property) but I still find this very interesting, and wouldn't mind trying something like it.
This is my last blog post for my senior year, so I'd like to say that I am so glad I took DMA classes throughout high school. I've learned so much and I wouldn't be where I am today without my experiences in the classes. I will be attending the Savannah College of Art and Design this coming fall and I couldn't be more excited. I'm thinking about majoring and working in the film industry, however, I will be pursuing all and any forms of art in the future as well. From a fellow artist: take the opportunities that you are given and work hard doing what you love.
