WEEK TWO
Building Continuous Variation
TODAY
Name X, give it a title, use three words at the most. Number your drawings (D.) on the back of the page, consecutively as they were produced. D.1-5 'Million Dollar' Sketches, D.6-8 'Million Dollar' Drawings, D.9-13 Pencil 'on X', D.14-16 Ink 'on X'. Pin-up and present your drawings and research material. Ask questions on X.
TONIGHT
On the basis of D.9-16, incorporating today's feedback and possible new info on X, draw five more maps and notations (pencil on vellum 8 1/2 x 11). Be very literal in your temporal and spatial recording, be specific, leave out no detail of X's Continuous Variation. Consider these five drawings (D.17-21) as scientific assessments of the ritual/event.
TOMORROW
Gather data on X, do research and continue your variations of the 'scientific method'. Sketch a lot (n=open, soft pencil on white paper). Produce many drawings (pencil on vellum) redraw successful ones (n=5+, D.22-26).
WEDNESDAY
Ink a preliminary selection of three (D.27-29). All 8 1/2 x 11. Build three simple paper models, 'sketch models' (M.1-3) that correspond to maps/notations D.27-29.
THURSDAY
In Class: pin up all D. for individual desk talk. Starting thursday: Notation to Diagram: Continue your research on X with a focus on how X is commonly documented. Are there any modes of representation specific to X. Read Texts on Diagrams (below). Starting tomorrow use D.9-29 as 'raw material', data for the development of your diagram. Start by sketching and drawing then build sketch models.
Texts:
Stan Allen : Diagrams Matter
Sanford Kwinter : The Genealogy of Models // xerox
Joyce Carol Oates, On Boxing // xerox
Paul Griffiths, Modern Music // in class

When a boxer is "knocked out" it doesn't mean, as it's commonly thought, that he has been knocked unconscious, or even incapacitated; it means rather more poetically that he has been knocked out of Time. (The referee's dramatic count of ten constitutes a methaphysical parenthesis of a kind through which the fallen boxer must penetrate if he hopes to continue in Time) There are in a sense two dimensions of Time abruptly operant: while the standing boxer is in time the fallen boxer is out of time. (Oates)
