thursday presentation

just a reminder, on Thursday we will have a presentation with a guest critic, so we need to push for a good presentation to get as much imput as possible. for presentation prepare:
1. written text describing the memory, time, moment concept (50 words min)
2. all the drawings: concept collages and sections (from 1st presentation), time machine, section collages, sequence drawings/photo montages, and axonometric/oblique process drawing...
3. all models of 3 joints (process and final), and the beginnings of the cube...

WO(OR)DPLAY #2 Cube of Jointed Tales

2C_10_04_07

“ A living language can be used for normal day to day purpose as prose. If you are good you may speak a wonderful prose. And if you are really good you can be a poet. But it is the same language, and its characteristics is that it has all these possibilities”

Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe

Who:

Subject of this week is to continue the sequencing of Moment and Memory in Time through model exploration, axonometric and oblique drawings.

What:

Write a text linking all your joints in a sequence- use your word joints as anchor for a tale – minimum 50 words

Complete your time machines

Create second xeroxed collage (perpendicular to the first)

Redraw 2 xeroxed collages (pencil and ink)

Construct a sequence of combinations (Min 3 combinations) based of your memory, moment research as a conceptual framework in a form of axonometric and oblique sketches.

Action/ Reaction Reveal/ Conceal Expectation/ Surprise

Continue drawing ONE drawing of combined axonometric (isometric, diametric, trimetric) and oblique projections. Use your time machine and your poems as a guide to the core ideas revealed through the joint.

Continue constructing the sequencing in the wood cube. Clarify according to the written text, and revise accordingly.

How:

Use only: 3 various size basswood sticks (thickness less than 1”) and 3 various size basswood sheets smaller thickness max ½”

Use Xerox collages and scaled section drawing overlaps, Xeroxed physical joints from all sides. Remember each drawing is an independent manifestation of your ideas.

Model making tips:

Measure twice before cutting,

Cut precisely

Use sharp saw, knives

Use sand paper often

Use a syringe to apply glue

The same drawing rules apply

When:

due on 10.11.07

All drawings and substantial cube model due for

the intermediate presentation/pin-up with a guest critic

sam's poems

1.
last night the breeze attacked me
my papers flew away
i ran to chase what once was mine
in a very hurried way
last night the breeze attacked me
and that i must convey
2.
i saw brown.
infinite tree trunks. blotches of green.
light gleaming between blurry sillhouettes.
dirt. rising and clouding around my moving feet.
i saw brown.

Mermory, Moment, and Time.

memory, moment, time diagrams THINGS TO THINK ABOUT

linking elements
common elements between sections and plans
recognize important moments
busy
somethings stand out
somethings fade
different drawing techniques
different sizes, smaller and bigger drawings to emphasize importance
line weights
different types of lines
deformations (stretching, perspectives)
time over form
new angles
these are moments but where is the time
these moments exist in a bubble
levels of presence
more lucid memory spaces and less lucid memory spaces
moments will appear, specific ones
special moments in memory will clarify
macro and micro
construction lines
show how the joints accept change
record various moments or movements

please upload poems from both poesis workshops!

time diagram

you need to do this for your time diagram:

use 3 pen/line weights (thick, normal, thin)
draw on 18x18


lines describe:
thick line= physical qualities (moments)
normal line = operation qualities/time
thin line= process

point:
point= point of static change
circle= point of dynamic change, size defines the degree of change

2 tipes of dashed line:
slow dashed line= hidden information
faster dashed line= physical memory, traces through time
crossings=intersections of collaged sections
