In Class, Mon. 6.10 + HW for Weds 6.12

Today we'll be reviewing the postcards, mood boards, and color palettes.

I. First, we'll look at the postcards.
Choose one that you'd like to send to yourself through the mail. The back should look like this so that
you have room for your address and stamp:

Address the postcard to yourself at the address where you will be staying while at Parsons. In the open area on the back write a short letter to yourself that describes how you're feeling today. Be specific! You will receive the postcard back at some point in the future.

II. Second, we'll be looking at the mood boards and color palettes. Each student will give a short, informal introduction to the memory concept that reveals various details about the memory.

- - - - - -

III. Third, we'll begin working in sketchbooks to determine what form the garment will take. The garment can be any wearable item that relates to the body. How can the memory garment's interaction with the body relate to the memory itself?

For HW, begin to work in your sketchbook on garment sketches. Create at least 10 rough sketches that you will develop further during and after class on Wednesday.

Print Information @Parsons

The printers on the 3rd floor are temporarily closed. If you need to print in color, send your images / docs to the printer in I421 (either Color421 or BW421)

Homework + Supplies for Monday, 6.10

Homework

1. Complete Assignment #1 - Postcards from HOME - Come to class with three postcards and one postage stamp. 

2. Complete Mood Board for Memory Project on 15 x 20" sheet of illustration board
3. On a separate piece of drawing paper (or computer paper if working digitally) create a color palette (*minimum 7 colors) for your Memory Project. (Refer to the examples in the next post, Inspiration: Memory Color Palettes). 

Your palette should include colors that relate to different aspects of your memory - both the physical environment of the memory and the feeling you get when thinking about the memory.

Once you have determined your palette you will name each color so that it communicates the mood of the color. For example, 'cotton candy pink', 'October sky blue', etc. Feel free to be creative and playful with your language in naming the colors. Look to Jesse Day's text, Line, Color, Form for help.

Supplies needed for next class:

• Completed HW Assignments (see above)
• Sketchbook
• Something to sketch w/
• Color media
