Today's Class- Today was a continuation of last week, continuing work on the book sculptures. We also devoted some time to critiquing the found object (plastic) assemblage sculptures, which were graded and returned. We also were given a new water collection system for our ceiling leak. They haven't stopped the leak itself yet, but they are looking into it.
How to make this up- The specifics of the assignment and some student examples can be found at last week's blog post.
Homework- The book sculpture graded project is due at the beginning of class on April 15, 2014.
The museum assignments are due on April 22, 2014 for those who want to get the maximum points available. Paper will be accepted at dates after that for partial credit.
For next class 4/8/14- We will be starting our second assemblage project, this one using exclusively natural materials- things not created by humans. I will provide an assortment of sea shells and bamboo pieces to get everyone started, and you'll have to gather whatever else you might need on your own. Last semester, students continued their pieces using such items as stones, wood, acorns, seed pods, leaves, and pine cones. You may bring such things with you to class, or add them later when you continue work on the projects on your own time. Bring hot glue sticks, the one artificial material you will be allowed to use.
