Craigslist assignment

In the end of January, We had an assignment to draw an object and post it on craigslist under the group of what the object was [ appliances, cameras, apperal, auto..etc] and not say anything about it being a drawing in the title but just listing it as the object that we drew. We had to list it around $10 and see if anyone would actually buy our drawings of this object.

I drew my medium format camera.

I got an email about wanting to by the camera and not the drawing - which the camera was and is not for sale. I emailed the guy back saying that it was just the drawing that was for sale and I think he or someone else reported it and took it down shortly after.

I dont think anyone in our class sold a drawing, but I think this was a really interesting assignment to see how people react to this kind of "trick".
