  I want to make a quilt with all the scraps of crochet we practice making w different materials!!!! what a cool artifact to hang in the palmer. it’s also serves as another example of data visualization- our time, effort and process materialized in an object.

The abstract from a Penn State Graduate School of  Visual Arts dissertation written by Renée Kredell aptly summarizes performance art pedagogy  which has partly informed our crochet classroom project: “…performance art, used as a pedagogical methodology, can create an educational space that is transformative (causing reflection, both personal, and institutional. The dissertation aligns performance-art pedagogy with […]

I decided to reverse the order for the construction of the Crochet Classroom. I was originally planning on ordering and assembling the scaffolding first. After a conversation with Courtney I realized thatI could start crocheting while I continued to develop prototypes for the structure.

we met with Lisa this morning. She was helpful in outlining some next steps, but the process is inherently messy so we are definitely going to have to work and think HARD to make all the pieces come together. we spent the rest of the afternoon in 203B brainstorming and interviewing and affinity mapping. by […]

Sketches for the frame of the outdoor classroom

Although I still want to make connections to Sanders/the experience of computer science students, I am particularly interested in how students give and receive crit/how teachers critique their students’ work. what can the crit room offer to these experiences? how can the crit room intervene […]

we visited Autodesk in Boston today. I was impressed by the facility and their philosophy, but I am still very wary of start up culture and all the man-buns I saw during our tour. the education director seemed really solid. he shared with us a human-centered design project he led for a class at UNC- […]

we walked through new hack, sanders physics, blodgett, rocky, and the library visiting spaces for inspiration. each room produced new questions and challenges- how does the shape of the crit room impact the way artists give and receive feedback? how could a computer science classroom look more like an art studio? how can classroom architecture […]
