Some of you were asking if we'd be visiting the Guggenheim Museum during class. Unfortunately we won't have time to but I definitely encourage you to go after class or on the weekend if you have time! There is an incredible show by the artist James Turrell who works with light and color.

Project III- Travelling to the Finish in Pairs........
Project III…Travelling to the Final Stretch
in Pairs
Project III’s direction is product design
driven. In keeping with our theme of travel this last project is a team
initiative.
Pairs of (your choosing) will produce 6
concept sketches and 1 prototype of an article of travel
The pairs should have a discussion about
what travel means to each of them. Communication is key in-group work.
The themes of the concepts may draw inspiration from Project
I and from Project II or if your team is very organized a combination of both
from each team-member providing a very directional narrative to the concept of
travel and arrival in space and time….
Materials
for Prototype- Paper, glue, tape, staples…no
wire, no plastic -Color, pattern are allowed the prototype must fit on your desk and
be no larger than a toaster or a large shoe box…it can have several elements, and objects, made of
paper placed in it to give scale and realism…
CLEAN! Effective, documented process and of
course WELL-CRAFTED work is
the goal….

Drawing Exercise: Gesture
To capture gesture, don’t draw what the thing looks like,
or even what it feels like… Instead draw what it’s doing. For example (when
drawing a figure): if the figure bends down to pick up an object - record the
twist of the torso, the reaching of the arm.
As the model takes the pose, or as the people you watch move, you are to draw, letting your pencil swing around the paper almost at will, being impelled by the sense of action you feel. Draw rapidly and continuously in a ceaseless line, from top to bottom, around and around, without taking your pencil off the paper. Let the pencil roam, reporting the gesture. (taken from Nicolaides, The Natural Way To Draw)
