Busy-ish

The past month or so I have had a few obstacles and hurdles to contend with... as I am sure we all have at one point or another. I think I might have exhausted my student's interest in Graffiti... or at least in sculpture and graffiti because of some of the rules I imposed on their project. Rule #1: No curved lines, Rule #2: all angles must be in increments of 45 (45, 90, 135, 180 etc...). Thus far the project went on for nearly a month in a half with only about half the students actually getting anything done. Which was mildly frustrating to say the least. The work which has been completed however is rather impressive and amazing. Beyond that, there has been the challenge of documenting progress, which is difficult because students, I have found out, are notorious fr destroying work they do not see as successful. If they have thrown out drawings from the beginning of the year, I have nothing to compare then with now.
