Sorry that I haven't been posting as much, people. Things have gotten really busy down here in NOLA. Just to fill everyone in real quick:
In our Visual Media class, we're finally down to the last assignment. We've been doing watercolors for the past few weeks (which I cannot stand) so guess what? You got it. Our final assignment is a watercolor assignment. Using the Ann Ryan collages we originally did as a point of departure, we must create an original watercolor painting inspired by said collages.
In Studio, we're still working on our Site as Dwelling_Dwelling as Site projects. It seems like everyone in my section is a bit confused on what exactly we're doing.... I'm convinced that the studio critics don't even know. We've developed a series of site plans, sections, and models at 1/64, 1/32, and 1/16 scale. However, many of us have had the issue of our houses being too "pancake", according to Scott Ruff. He wants our dwellings not to be dwellings (WTF) but architektons. Essentially he wants us to reference the Architekton projects we completed in September and October (see some of my older posts) and create another one, onto which we superimpose our plans, sections, and whatnot. It's a bit frustrating since I've still got to figure this out as well. And the final drawings are due on Monday. This is going to be a hellish week-end, considering that I've also got French and Physics assignments to work on... Desperately clinging to life until Thanksgiving. Pray for me.
