Drawing Workshop + Instant Environment

Posted: June 16, 2008

After a late night of designing their instant environments, the groups had a good idea of what they wanted to do. Of course, as things go, plans change, but having a clear vision of what you want to do is an integral part of this project. Unfortunately, the skies have a foreboding feel, and there is a reasonable chance of rain this afternoon. There is a map and forecast for the area here.

The construction hasn't begun yet, but updates will be provided later in the day, when there has been more work.

This morning, there was a drawing workshop with Bill Andrews. With a slightly unusual take on sketching, including a few exercises where the students were drawing inside of a paper bag. This workshop should bring the best out of the students.
