Second night of class and we worked collaboratively to produce a wall drawing made from about 2,000 sticky notes. The discussion before starting centered on how collaboration works, what rules we wanted--if any and how we would approach the process. Nate suggested working silently with an "anything goes" rule. After a vote we decided to start that way. After a half hour, we checked in and discussed some formal concerns, then jumped right back in. This time, we talked as we worked. The consensus was that we needed to pull the composition in and move upwards. The giant ladder was retrieved from the sculpture studio and up we moved. Concerns about shape and color as well as rhythm were all addresses pretty seemlessly. Devon declared "There's good energy in this room!" And truly, there was. When we had finished and documented the project, the drawing (which took two hours to make) was disassembled in one minute flat.

Witness the impermanence of non-traditional art:
That was so much fun! I think this class is going to be good for me. Learning to loosen up of control is much needed for this man!
