The Square Project

Our first, and presumably only, mini-project in the senior project class was called the Square Project.  It started by having the entire class collectively making seemingly unrelated lists of things like colors and current events.  There were a total of 5 lists.  Then we were asked to write a narrative using at least one word or phrase from each of the 5 lists.  Since it was suggested that we could use automatic writing as a technique for the narrative I used it for the latter half of mine.  I won't share that with you, as I doubt many could read my handwriting (hell, I can't read it half the time).  For homework we were to draw a picture based on our narrative.  The odd part is that I never intended this to be remotely related to my exhibit, nor was the assignment intended to be linked to our exhibits, but it certainly turned out that way. Drawing was never my strong suit and I honestly haven't done any serious drawing in several semesters but I was surprised that everyone seemed to have to stop and look at mine.  It certainly wasn't the best in the class but it was definitely the 'darkest.'
