Response to Place

For your final project, you will choose one location that you really like.  It should be someplace off your beaten path and outside of the MICA community.  Spend some time there observing all you can including the changing light, smells, sounds, and textures.  Make notes in your journal about what attracted you to this place, what its function is/was, what you experience there, etc.  Consider its relationship to the surrounding area also.

This is a studio project with a web component, and is your longest and most in depth project of the semester.  You will have over 4 weeks to work on both the studio projects and the website, so will need to have your ideas mapped out clearly and you need to be sure to have things to work on in class each week.  Be sure that you choose a location you can visit more than once, and one that will give you inspiration for a thorough response.

For next week, choose your location, spend some time there, make notes of your ideas and begin making work.  A typed proposal (hard copy) is due next week.  Bring the work that you have begun to make to class.
