9/5
Due: Project 1 Time Constraint Sculpture, group critique
WEEKEND HOMEWORK:
Due Monday - Project 1 documentation, Project 1 reflection statement - POSTED TO THE BLOG
Reading:
Rosalind Krauss, Sculpture in the expanded Field:
https://monoskop.org/images/b/bf/Krauss_Rosalind_1979_Sculpture_in_the_Expanded_Field.pdf
Your documentation should consist of more than one good, well-lit photograph of your work installed, ideally from multiple angles, both up close details and a mid-distance shot. If it needs to be "activated" or there is a performance, documentation should include this as well. In that case, I would recommend both photo and video, but at least photo. Documentation should be accompanied by the work's title, materials, and brief description
Your reflection statement should be at the least one paragraph, and at the most 1-2 pages, with a reflective description of your work, remarking on your process, how you felt about this, and your response to the finish work and your peers' critique. Consider these questions: What is the piece? What meaning did you intend to convey through the work? Was this "successfuly" conveyed? How did your peers read this work? Were new meanings understood through the process of critique, and did your peers have creative readings of the work you would not have predicted? How did you feel about this? How could the project have been changed to better convey your idea ? What was your process? What materials did you use? How did you feel about these? What was interested to you about this assignment, what was not? How could you scale this work up or change it if you had more time?

Due Tues 9/ 3: Artist’s statement, goals, "bibliography"
What do I mean?
Give an artist's statement your best shot, we will be developing this throughout the semester, and we will discuss after project 1 how to edit our statements and what they should or could consist of.
Begin building some statements about the goals you have for this semester.
And finally, begin a bibliography. This is a list of all influential texts, references, media, artists, images, movies, LINKS, hyperlinks are great, anything! This should also include a category of references you still need to check out, things you haven't yet read, things you need to look at or tutorials you want to take, etc.
Finish any of the reading from Tuesday you didn't get to.
