EX 1 REFLECTION PROMPT
We believe that one begins to really see (an object, a situation, a condition) through the process of trying to describe it (to oneself, to others). The more tools (different media and drawing types) one has at one's disposal, the better equipped one is to try out different ways of describing something.
Our goal for Exercise One was to not only introduce you to a range of different media and drawing types, but to help you use them strategically. Our hope is that once you begin to appreciate how each medium or type of description lends itself to particular situations or privileges a particular understanding, you will be able to decide which tool, or technique, or medium, or type of 'drawing' to deploy in your inquiry.
- Consider each assignment on its own and/or as part of a sequence. How did each challenge previous ways of looking at and describing the world? Did you feel that the focus was on teaching you how to 'use' a material or medium, or on how to 'think through' a material or medium, or a bit of both? Do you think that you were able to not only pick up 'skills' but also a sense of how to use them with some purpose or intention in mind?
- Describe how Ex 1.7 in particular challenged you to first make a proposition and then to follow through on it? What did you learn from having to identify and articulate what to draw (what questions to ask in and through the drawing), and to specify procedures for how to draw it.
- How did the moment of looking back, selecting, and curating work to hang for the final review help in the overall learning process? Did it help you see things that you had not noticed earlier when you were in the midst of doing the exercises?
- How did the discussion during the final review help in the learning process? Would you do any of the exercises differently now, with the benefit of distance and the reviews?
- Looking back over the past five weeks, what have been some of the biggest challenges, successes, frustrations, and surprises, that Exercise One presented you with?
