This week, we look forward to seeing project plans, sketches, drafts, and prototypes come together. Please keep all evidence of your process. All the ideas and possibilities generated. All of the versions. Successes. Failures. All of it shows your thinking and will reveal to you (and others) how you make choices in your creative process.
On Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday we will take turns visiting the John Michael Kohler Arts Center to spend time responding to the new exhibitions, collectively titled "Wisconsin Wild and Tame" :
- Super Natural (Including Fred Stonehouse)
- Dreamscapes
- David R. Harper : My Own Personal Ghost
- Of Heart and Home : Mary Nohl's Art Environment
- Living Rooms
- Steve Feren: The Incredible Beingness of Light
- Sonja Thomsen: In Orbit
Artist Videos on Vimeo for anticipation or reflection on the creative retreat.
On designated days (see below), groups should walk to the Arts Center as soon as possible after the start of IDEAS Project Block and meet in the Matrix for a brief overview of the galleries and the format for our visit.
MONDAY: Mike, Erin, Kimberly, Tim
TUESDAY: Molly, Timi, Drew, Beckah
THURSDAY: Dan, Stuart, Addie (+ one more staff member)
The other days this week should be dedicated to moving project forward according to group norms and agreements. Please see last week's post for recommendations and reminders.
Madison O'Brien will be following up on Exhibitions of Learning Vision Forms and Stuart would like Art Supply Requests as soon as possible.
Before leaving for break at the end of the week, create a plan for what you need to read, sketch, make in the next week. Your project should be part of you, not part of school, meaning it should continue despite taking a break from school.
