☽☀︎ Homework for Next Week
We are gently beginning the “final” project due in three weeks
Look back on this in class activity about our capacities and our inspirations.
- Let go of any attachment to “good” ideas
- remind yourself that production is not always material, remind yourself that value can be self-defined
- After listing 10 or more capacities and inspirations each, move to the second slide and consider, what could come of combination, mixing, connecting
- Combine at least one item from each side and reach inside yourself for a project idea that makes use of X capacity and X inspiration.
- Repeat step 4 10 or more times.
- Remind yourself that bad ideas are welcome here.
- Choose one idea to implement a first version of. If, as you begin working on carrying out this idea, the idea changes, that is very OK!
- Upload documentation of your first project to this arena channel and in the description, describe what capacities and inspirations led you here.
