- Finally watch John Berger, Ways of Seeing
Homework
- Create an InVision presentation for Obsessions. The presentation should include 3 different concepts for your project. Each concept should have about 4 pages: one page describing it with words and pictures, a mood board with examples of what you’re trying to achieve. this should include research as well as inspiration (probably about 2 pages), and one rough homepage design exploring your topic. Around 12 pages total.
- Negotiating the Archive, Sue Breakell reading presentation by volunteer and discussion question for other students.
Wednesday, Lab
- Yaren and Vincent share weekly interest.
- Exercise: Coding from Life
Homework
If you did not finish the drawings in class, or you’d like to spend more time working on them, take a photo of the still life and complete it at home. If you weren’t in class this week you’ll need to create a still life of your own.
Create an archive of all the drawings completed in class, both your own drawings and the two drawings from each other student. You can find each project from the students page, in their github repos.
Store this archive in the your github projects directory, e.g. at this path projects/coding-from-life-archive. Your archives should consist
of a index.html and main.css, just like the Coding from Life sketches in the starter kit.
Your archives should link to each drawing directly. For example, if I had created a drawing, you would link to http://fisherdm.github.io/projects/coding-from-life/sketch-1/index.html.
You should consider how you choose to organize the drawings. Is it alphabetically, chronologically, by color, random, or something else?
You should consider how you display the drawings. Is it with an image of the sketch, or a more abstract representation of the sketch, or just text?
Once your archive is complete and correctly linked to each student’s sketch, add a new link to your github pages home page page linking to the archive, and to your two sketches.
