ASSIGNMENT DESCRIPTION /
many of us find it useful to gather and organize our reading “inputs.” i would assert that half of being a maker, and artist, is research, following our nose on what strikes us, following it, reading about it. sometimes there are direct connections to the work we create in the studio, sometimes not, but it all is part of your practice.
think about how, where and what you read. maybe you already have some habits to share? perhaps you’d like to begin a notebook just for taking notes when reading poetry. document this process (it will look different for everyone) through a “themed” minibook, flier or pamphlet. post your images in the classroom and tell us a bit about your journey. all work must be submitted by thursday 07may @ 12noon (nyc time) and all students must check back and comment on at least one other student’s work by 2p (nyc time).
