This week started off slow and gloomy. It’s been raining in California and so this week I have been stuck indoors. It has not been a very productive week, and I haven’t really had the motivation to do a lot of course work. I keep myself busy doing other things, helping out with making meals, or other chores around the house, as well as art that is not class related. I started making some small weavings this week which I plan to continue doing.
I did however make progress with my lesson plan. I am planning a lesson about fears that will go up on the Mia (Minneapolis Institute of Art) website. In the lesson, we will start by addressing what fear is most alive for us in the moment. Then we will try to find an animal that represents this fear. Lastly we will think about this animal in a silly situation/doing something silly and we will draw it. This week I worked on writing down some of the questions that I can ask in the lesson that would stimulate thoughts. In the coming week, I will formulate my lesson plan, and give further thought to how I’d like to make a simple and fun demo video. I look forward to sharing this lesson, and seeing the creative outcomes.
