readings update

so i was looking at the calendar, and i think it makes more sense to shift chapter 2 to the 25th...i'll bring photocopies of that chapter to class on weds so no worries there

also, bring contact sheets and/or something that you are working on to class....i am doing a couple demos the first half and want to have time to visit with all of you the 2nd half

see you then!

sketchbook assignment 2

so here' s what i want you to do....in this class we will be talking a lot about what you want to make work about...concept building activities are important....and finding out the sorts of things that interest you and what you think about daily can be the key to discovering an approach to making art.....a good friend once told me that what you spend the greatest portion of your time thinking about durning the day is probably what you should be making work about

so this is what i want you to do....carry your sketch book with you...and i want you to track what you think about over the next 3 days ..i of course do not mean that i want you to write down every thought....but look for themes...things that occur to you over and over....worries, fears, things that make you happy, things you do, and, therefore, spend lots of time thinking about, interactions with other people...anything is game!

you need to be diligent in your efforts for this to be useful...so write as often as you can...do it any way you like...i like doing this exercise by making short lists and goofy sketches....but you may have your own shorthand for it....

the other key to this is not sensoring yourself...i will check your sketchbooks, but i'm not going to read what you write because i don't want you spending extra time worrying about what i will see...this is for you not me....

Reading discussion on WEDS!!

Just to remind everyone, Cotton, Chpt 1, is due for discussion on Weds. there will be a tiny quiz at the beginning of class
