WEEK SIX
What is New
The properties commonly ascribed to any object are, in last analysis, names for its behavior. (Herrick)
TODAY
- Print out and read What is New
- Type the comments you have received during the review (W.3)
- Name the three creatures, name their behaviors, describe their activities. Be specific about their properties. What are their spatial qualities. What do they have in common (species). How does one differ from the other. (W.4)
TOMORROW
In a simple Species Drawing (D.47 pencil on vellum, hardline) capturing the creatures' properties (not formal details), show variation and sameness among the three, as well as their relation and possible connection. Think of it as an Illustration of W.4
(Three forms of Lythrum salicaria. The dotted lines with the arrows show the directions in which pollen must be carried to each stigma to ensure full fertility.)
THURSDAY
Present W.4 and D.47 .
Workshop: In a second generation the creatures are built from pliable material. Starting with one offspring, a raw material is chosen (paper/paperboard/foam) that is manipulated (scored, perforated, steamed, soaked) to allow for the behaviors defined in W.4/D.47. Once prepared the working material is bent, stretched, pushed and achieves the spatial effects of W.4/D.47. It is duplicated several times, put into an array and tested for edge conditions and adaptability. The creature then is fine tuned to serve as a spatial module of the battleground.
