1. a composition of bones from either human or an animal placed together providing the framework of the body.
Examples:

-Phone charm: A child dressed up as a skeleton for halloween. From the Nightmare Before christmas.
-Bracelet: Worn on my wrist for about three years now. Twenty three skulls in total.
-Gloves: A pair of gloves with bones on it. Starting from the metacarpals to carpals, glow in the dark.
-Pillowcase: Many dancing skeletons around a tombstone. Also glow in the dark.
-Poster: An anatomical chart with two diagrams. Showing skeletons, muscles, and vein work.
Desktop background: Skeletons tiled in the background of my computer. They are pointing towards the right.
The task in your project is to figure out how to apply your interest in skeletons to a meaningful work of art. I think the term "skeleton" is deeper than the simple depictions in popular culture. The concept of skeleton exists all around us. The question is how to create a deeper investigation into the notion of "skeleton" that might lead to a new way of seeing things.
