Blog check up grade

On Monday, February 14th your blogs will receive their first grade. Anything posted after 9:30 am on that day will not be graded. You will receive 3 blog check up grades through the course of the semester (about one per month to six weeks). These will be averaged together with grade from your Morgue (hard copy archive commonly called sketchbook) to be your Visual Journal grade. The Visual Journal is 25% of each of your studio grades. You may want to review the download/handout on the Visual Journal (please do).

Get your blogs up to date.

If you have absences or tardies, re-skim the syllabus to review how these things impact your grade.

performing visual elements (texture) auditorily (nightmare or daydream)


Finish up listening to Janine Antoni and questions. For each work Antoni discusses, listen for what materials she is using, what she did to or with them, and all the whys? Make a list of her whats and whys. Identify the sources of her ideas. How does she speak about her audience? What of their response? What does she want from them? Why does she love being an artist?

Bring lists/answers with you to class Monday, we will be discussing her work in terms of its sources of inspiration, materiality, process, interaction with viewer and why she loves being an artist.

performing visual elements (an unexpected translation of value) auditorily (nightmare or daydream). i was listening so hard to hear it in the manipulation of sound that i missed the symbolic sound execution of value.


Lecture #1 with Bill

1. Lecture 1 (1/21) assignment and reading. Due Friday, January 28 beginning of class.
2.  TBA in class 1/21.

And we finished with the little moody element of color in the auditory range





Hey! Wait a minute that last one wasn't sound! Now that was music! We've mixed in a vocal artist with our visuals! YES! MIXing it up is good.

Well and then their was our first day of class
student nightmare or fantasy!
