To
start the day off, the students are getting a crash course in
perspective drawing. Groups have stationed themselves all over the
building, and are in the process of sketching the various hallways and
corridors.
After spending a couple of hours with that, they will
move on to a Kit-of-Parts spatial study. Using a set of various shapes
cut out of cardboard and chipboard, plus a few skewers, they will
construct an abstract environment. These should have public and private
spaces, though there is no strict requirement on what the finished
construction should look like.
Today's pictures can be found here.
There
was a review that took place last night of the Instant Environments that were constructed during the afternoon
yesterday. Even though there were some storms, it was dry enough to get
some amazing work out of the students. All of the structures are well
made, and even during the building process they weathered any storms
that passed. Final pictures of the Instant Environments can be found here.Film Series 2
