Charrette: Change: Update

Hi Students,

Here is the latest update on the Charrette project. Tonight's critique is cancelled. In lieu of this meeting we will:

• Continue to work individually
  
• Work in class
  
• Post all of your work thus far to the blog (the five steps from last Friday and your current efforts- directions below).

Be prepared to meet on Monday, February 2nd, at 6 pm.

Be bold, forge ahead, go make your work!

Hello All,

The blog has been edited and is easier to post to now. Please direct your students to:

http://change.charrette.us

And have them post their 5 CHANGE actions from the project brief and their work in progress.

There is an INSTRUCTIONS page here:

http://change.charrette.us/?page_id=70

It is important that all members of the project post their work on this shared space.

ALSO:

1. Students should login with their own name (not a cryptic codename)

2. Students should name their blog post after their project (not "CHANGE") because we already have too many posts named "CHANGE".

Thanks!

//Randall

Inauguration: Change

Here are some great images from our kickoff event last week- the Inauguration! Talk about change... and that's putting it mildly. It was pretty exciting and we got off to a fantastic start. Our participation even included a couple of old activists doin' a bit o' shoe throwing (otherwise known as two of your favorite profs, Drs. Dennis and Machida)!

Feel the excitement?!?!

Friendly Reminder

Hi Tuesday illustrators, remember to bring in:
1. Three illustrators' names (scroll down to Prof. Diddy's and Prof. Argoff's previous entries, they practically did your homework for you!)
2. An example of your own artwork
3. Markers in various gray shades, and black, to work on your Change piece

4. A head full of ideas for your Change piece

Also remember to:
5. Think about ways to represent the abstract idea of non-profit organizations being negatively affected by their for-profit component. You don't have to draw anything, just think. (My solution to the other one I mentioned in class, long-term psychological effects of physical injuries, I realized is here on my website. What would you have drawn?)
6. Visit Drawger, and if you haven't found your way to this part of it, you should. Nice portraits and interviews with real illustrators you can even READ. Here's one of my favorites:
