Tuesday [June 15]:
11-12pm: Representation lecture in Piper Auditorium
12-1pm: lunch
1pm-2pm: Meet in room 122 for introduction to the new studio assignment.
2-4:45pm: During studio (at your desks) you will be asked to create 3 “quick and dirty” sketches of your first impression of the new studio assignment. These sketches can be in 3D model or 2D drawing. The idea is to make as many first attempts as possible within the given time. Trust the process and be open to discovery.
4:45-6pm: We will meet as a group LA_2 in the 2nd Floor Lounge and review our first impressions. You will each have 2 mins to present your first ideas; and 8 mins of feedback. If you made drawings, please pin them up. If you made models, begin thinking about how you want us to view them. I will give you feedback on your first ideas and together we will select a direction for you take your project in based on these first sketches.
Homework (for Wednesday’s class): Continuing your exploration, select one sketch from the pin-up today and begin to expand upon it for tomorrow’s class. Please write one paragraph describing your selected idea and your project intentions. This text will become your personal project statement. You will edit and revise the text throughout the week. And you will use it as your final presentation text for your review on Friday (June 18th).
We will begin our desk critiques on Wednesday with reviewing these written statements.
