Wednesday, March 18th | Weather Report

Who are we as a professional community?
Why interpret ideas through art forms?

GATHERING: Weather Report + Forecast
Today is the absolute deadline for research papers. Through reflection on research and looking at professional models, most students have had an opportunity to envision their project within a discipline. Please take time at the beginning of today to share out a Weather Report + Forecast. Use these responses as an opportunity to reflect on Habits of Learning. Reference notes or dot-vote from earlier in the semester.

  • Weather Report
    (How are you feeling about your progress so far this week? Deadlines? Quality of research paper?)
    AND
  • Forecast
    (Based on how you are currently envisioning your project, what will the creation phase be like? How will it end up?) 
STUDIO:  Professional Models
Advisors may determine whether the group needs to look at a professional model of their choice together, or if the group has diverse needs and outcomes for studio time as in other days this week. 

A goal is to get everyone to a point where they are collecting professional models related to the vision they have for their own project. Models in their discipline. Advisors may need to provide some direction on where to look in some cases.

The advanced version of this is students preparing a professional model they found to share with the group using a thinking routine. Please ask if there is a student willing to work toward this today, and at end of the hour today have one student share the model using a thinking routine.
