Final Show, Monday Nov. 21
ON Monday the 21st, we had our final show. A middle school group was invited to come at 5, then everyone else came at 6. It was fantastic to see all of the work out at once. People really seemed to enjoy it. The only bummer was that it was hard to see the posters in the dark evening light on the floor. I came back early Tuesday morning and photographed the work before it was dismanteld.
The first few shots are of the oil paintings from evening painting class. Phil chose his favorite few to be exhibited. We all produced 5 or 6 oils.
WE each had to turn in two watercolors, two sketches, and two poems for the show. These were posted on the front of the studio.
The rest of the work was produced by the undergraduates, except for the original inventory posters that the grads helped with in beginning of the quarter. After the grads stepped away from the project, the undergrads did a series of watercolors. These were supposed to be abstract and capture phenomenon. This represented another phase of the data collection process. Then the various phenomenon were mapped on the site. The students then had to create an abstract model representing a phenomenon. The project then entered the design phase. Each group was charged with designing a trail system in within the study site linking various phenomenon. The idea was for the phenomenon to be observed or captured and replicated (or both) at each resting point along the trail. Although I thoroughly enjoyed our graduate project, this one was so fascinating to me. I wish I could have done it! I visited the studio frequently during the process to see what they were up to. I was really impressed with the final products, especially considering the limited materials and technology at thier disposal.
Hallway #1
This board was particularly interesting. Each concept plan is done with collage from magazines. I thought they did a partiuclarly nice job at presentation. They even had cards posted describing the models.
Hallway #2
The rest of the boards are from the first phase of data collection. I had potographed these in progress and posted them in September. Here are a few of the completed projects.
This was the one I worked on. Luckily we'll be showing this again in Pomona.
