Today in class, we are:
Looking at your charrette results!
Talking about project proposals
For next time:
Have at least 2 project proposals according to the guidelines given
Create initial proposals for your Capstone project.
In doing so, we’re starting to decide on your projects. We’ll make initial proposals, get faculty and peer feedback, refine the proposals, create a full project proposal, then carry out that project.
Create at least two initial proposals for your Capstone project.
Today in class, we are:
Talking about the reading (On Permission)
Looking at the Orbit Mind Mapping exercise
Talking about the charrette we’re starting
Working and talking individually about ideas for the charrette
For next time:
Come in with a finished charrette!
Read Scratching from Twyla Tharp’s The Creative Habit
(In it, be on the lookout for practices you can make your own)
In this charrette, we will create a one week project that fuses an interest/like/influence with one of your “orbit” definitions/associations. In doing so, you’ll begin to identify interests, likes, influences.
Today, we are:
Getting started! The syllabus is here.
Introducing our theme, Orbit. There’s an exercise about it here.
Introducing new faculty to students and vice versa.
For next time:
Read On Permission by Craig Mod.
Complete the Orbit Exercise. Be ready to start designing.
Research the term/idea orbit. What do you think it means? What are the other definitions for it?
Bring in at least two definitions for it (printed or written down, not just in your head).
What can orbit mean? What can it mean for you? For this class? For this time? What are other associations with it?
Make a mind map using the included starting point. Start with the primary associations and meanings for orbit. Work your way out to secondary, tertiary, etc. connections.
