Process Exercise No. 1

Angie

I introduced the first process exercise to my students on Thursday--3D sketching with common materials. I gave each student a large, light-weight cardboard envelop to use along with two different kinds of string and some tape. They got one hour to make a piece of jewelry...they all seemed to enjoy the exercise and I like the results. Every week I will give them new materials to work with and then on their own they will make a new piece. At the end of the session they will have eight pieces they can analyze to discover more about their own process and interests. I will be doing the exercise each week, too. I am curious to see what happens now after making "Collected Memories: 1974-Present," which is based on this exercise.

Great idea - I think that it would be a great exercise for me to do this too :-)We did exercises like this at university but it is all too soon forgotten!
