F405i Special Projects: Creating Your Archive

Develop a deeper understanding and appreciation for the elements of archive in your studio, as both organization and process tool. This short course will focus on practice and will promote research around studio habits and organization that can inform an efficient personal collection for your working process. We will look into modes and benefits of physical and digital archiving methods and techniques with an emphasis on materials to better develop ideas. In the end, you will gain a better understanding of the tools of archive and how to better build and utilize your “collections”, leveraging family keepsakes, sketchbook habits, daily walking and image curating.
