First off, I have to say that the intro to the "apple project" left me with mixed feelings. I like that the project gives permission for a seemingly unlimited possibilities for materials. If this is the kind of atmosphere and direction the class is going to take, then I have high hopes for our other projects. What were my difficulties with this first project? I was starving and the apple taunted me. I never was in the possession of food that I couldn't eat. My next hope for this class is that food is not involved.
I was impressed with some of my peers' thoughts on what this course is going to be about--the way Jimmy took our words and repeated them to the class really made it sink in. After awhile, I couldn't help but write a few of these words down:
Ideas - Process - Looking - Find meaning - Excercise - Repeating - Draw - Develop
These words define what concept development is about. Agree?
