WATCH: Olafur Eliason: The Design of Art, part of Netflix Abstract: The Art of Design Series.
RESPOND: Take notes and/or doodle in your field journal as you watch. What do you see? What do you think? What do you wonder about Eliasson’s work?
Watching Eliasson's documentary was one of the most thought-provoking assignments in these past two weeks. Out of all me sketch notes this one may be hardest to understand, but also has the most meaning. They are pretty much a visualization of Eliasson's design process, which is quite interesting.
After watching this documentary I have become hyper-aware of the beauty of nature, the difference in color in different places, how a simple change of perspective can make extraordinary change, and so much more. In this class, we discover the connection of art and science, and how we can make art by doing science, but Eliasson takes it to an entire new level.
Further on this page, I will post some of the research I have done on Eliasson and his work.
