Catch up/ extra info (repetition of email)

class lists for critique on Mondays/ Wednesdays are on the previous post. 

Since there are 5 projects in 10 weeks, we will alternate between
the smaller groups for critique sessions (week of Jan 30th, Feb 13th, Feb
27th and March 12th), and the larger group for general class/ discussion.

I posted on the blog about beginning a 'dictionary of Cruz' - pulling from
the lectures and related readings etc, beginning to define a list of terms
that we can become familiar with as a group and utilize as a common
language as we discuss and write about work. This will be useful to all,
and also interesting as a portrait of Teddy sorts, a dictionary of his
vernacular.
This isn't a formal assignment, but I'd like you to contribute as and when
you can (think of this as part of the 'participation' criteria and grade).
If a term crops up in Lecture that you're unsure of, research it's
definition - and lets go deeper, etymology too (the linguistic origin of
the word, this search is good: www.etymonline.com) - and send it to me on
email. I'll pop them up on the blog as they arrive. Also if you do
research a term, bring it to class and let us know. Artists tend to like
to contort and re-appropriate language, for better or worse, so you might
have to dig a little to locate the meaning in this context - and of
course, can go straight to the horses mouth and ask Teddy for his own
definition.

A little confusion has emerged over 'Work 2'. I realize you have little
time to complete a project before next week so am asking you to present
work in progress - ideas, sketches, first stages of the experiment. Feel
free to bring in any materials or half-finished works too. This gives us
the chance to discuss and critique the work before it reaches fruition,
which I think should be productive. If you want to present digitally let
me know and I'll book a projector, bring work on your computer along with
a projector-adapter cable that fits your comp (can get from the bookstore,
and useful to have).
I want to hear about your working methodology, the material processes you
plan to employ and WHY, bringing it back to your own motivations and
interests. Forget about making something that seems like 'art'. Just
follow the brief intuitively and with as much integrity as possible.

Have a good weekend
