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, it's raining right now, and if the skies don't let up before this afternoon, plans may have to change. There is a map
and forecast for the area here. Note that the local radar is down for maintenance, but the regional radar works.
The construction hasn't begun yet, but updates will be provided later in the day, when there has been more accomplished.
This morning, the students participated in a drawing workshop with Bill Andrews. It had a slightly unusual take on sketching, including a few exercises
where the students were drawing inside of a paper bag!
Pictures of the workshop, and of the construction can be found here.
