The Art Assignment furthers their exploration of New Orleans to visit artist Bob Snead. He's the Executive Director of Press Street, an organization that promotes art and literature in the community through events, publications and arts education. Snead embraces the collaborative nature of art-making and gives us the assignment to produce an Assembly Line.
John and Sarah Green then discuss the controversy in contemporary art of using assistants and others to make the art and not the artist. Sarah shows how this has been a common practice and gives a prime example, Leonardo Da Vinci.

2. Make a template for how to recreate that object
3. Invite friends over and produce an assembly line to recreate that object
4. Document the process and upload with #theartassignment
5. Fame and glory (your work might be featured in a future episode)
