11. This Week in Class (October 28-Nov 1)
Monday: work on Gee's Bend or embroidery!
Tuesday block: Whole class Question #1: What is something that unites stitching, weaving, knitting, quilting?
#2:
--A. In small groups, brainstorm giant list of forms in nature...particularly images that include repetition or pattern, brainstorm list of at least 30 creation inspirations
--B. Illustrate at least 10 items on list (draw or collect and print out visual imagery of these forms in nature)
--C. Visually relate these 10 forms to any fiber process that we've used, you've seen, or that you could imagine using to build a form that suggests or is inspired by this natural form...(note how this is different than our soft sculptures which were more of a 'one to one' relationship in terms of forms and inspirations)
#3: Whole class...Look at contemporary fibers artwork (what could these forms suggest from nature?)
#4: Briefly introduce new fibers project!
#5: Sketching time!
Thursday: continue planning work and begin gathering supplies...also time to finish up Gee's Bend work
Friday: studio time
