Well, this week we've mostly been just working on your next project.
Monday we discussed the two artists our reading notes were done on... reading I have to go do right now, actually. But afterwards we spent the time in our project groups, working more on our ideas for our next project. This is also what we did for the entirety of today (wednesday), so there really isn't much more to report.
As for the project:
We're to do a political piece on a subject determined by group. I was originally with the group that was going to do Environment, but we broke up because we couldn't think of any decent ideas (or agree on any, in any case). So now I'm in the group that's covering "judgement" as in stereotyping and judging others before you really know who they are. The idea they have is to take five paper silhouettes and attach them to a wall on the outer perimeter of Rowe and label each a different race (like White, Asian, Black, etc.). In addition I think (but I'm not sure) that they're going to write beneath the racial labels lists of stereotypes for each (like under White they might have "redneck", "hillbilly", etc.) and beside the entire lineup have a poster of some sort requesting passing students to "fix" the labels - to correct the stereotyped ideas, to draw, graffiti, or write their thoughts and feelings about the various discriminations.
Hopefully we'll be able to actually get a few people to write on it; the worst that could happen is if it gets completely ignored, but we can still use that in our presentation I suppose.
We have to get the silhouettes up by friday so there is some time before the due date for them to accumulate responses.
