Materials Brainstorm! Make a list of all of the materials that you can think of that you can cast with. Bring to class and we'll see what else we can add to it! Rachel Whiteread Watch this video while you work. Jot down some notes on your thoughts. Have you ever thought of your work in this type of scale? Try it out. What did you come up with? Tracking
Chose something to track this week. Maybe it's a bad habit, or a good one. It should be something that you think you do often. Choose three days to keep track, each for a 24 hour period. Set parameters for yourself prior to starting. The goal is to be mindful of our repetitive tendencies as humans. Give yourself lots of space in your sketchbook to do this. Also, write an analysis to synthesis your thoughts of your experience. You won't be required to share what you're tracking, but I'll probably ask what you learned from doing so. Ideas: - water consumption - amount of times you check your phone or a specific account - how often you check the time - every time you bite your nails Process Write out your process. Think of your most recent making endevor. What were the steps you took prior to completion? It's good to have this written down in case you ever get stuck. We'll share in class and add some steps to your process, just in case. Here are some ideas to start you out: - sketch out ideas - thinking about ideas before sleep/in bed - collect materials - make a word map Why Many? Write out your case as to why more is better than less. Give specific examples and scenarios. Research the idea of “less is more”. Where did it originate, who says it, and why. What is your experience with this phrase? Who has said it to you in the past and why. How does it exist in your life? - in your artwork? Be ready to discuss next class. Numbers
What are some significant reasons you can think of for creating a specific amount of things. Create a list of ways to decided on an amount. Zoom in (your Grandmother's birth date) and zoom out (entire world’s population). |
