A recommended source of inspiration about the possibilities of paper
On making with paper, in a digital world
"All of a sudden, artworks that require physical effort and direct involvement, objects that cannot be created via copy & paste, experience an incredible resurgence of appreciation from both creators and recipients alike. In an age where almost any information, be it newspaper article or video clip, photograph or music file, is only a few free clicks away, the unique immediacy of an object, performance or installation, its multi-sensory properties, the moment itself gains renewed importance.
...Taking it back to its original intent, as a cheap and immediate receptacle for the thoughts that pour from illustration and design, painting and sculpture, even maths and science reclaim paper as a basic launch pad for thoughts and ideas; their original 'blank slate' of communication and creativity. 'I'm attracted to its openness as a material states Julien Vallee. 'The blank page is this great metaphor for nothingness and the potential for 'somethingness'. It also has this suggested sense of the ephemeral, but can be very strong and enduring."
...True to the post-punk adage of 'rip it up and start again' , these artists bend, crinkle, bunch, curl, slice, slash, glue, stick, burn, soak, splash, splatter, roll, mash, punch, perforate, age, singe, bleach, dye, stack, twirl, stitch, knit, print, paint, glaze, lacquer, pleat, engrave, emboss, or sand the cellulose stock. in its myriad of permutations from flimsy foil to sturdy board: imbued with meaning and emotion, one slice or fold can tell it all."-Robert Klanten

COLLABORATION STATION - Work (virtually) with your internship 2 groups!
COLLABORATION STATION - Work (virtually) with your internship 2 groups!
Team members - BE MINDFUL of how ideas come about and evolve as you work. Document your process-- record your thinking and decision making. Answer the following questions as you work.
Idea generation - Where within the process are ideas coming from? How are ideas being transmitted and elaborated among the group?
Familiarity/knowledge - What role does prior knowledge and experience play in the process?
Choice of media - What materials are selected? How? When? Why?
Manipulation of media - What is being done to the materials? For what purpose?
Problems - What challenges are encountered? How are they resolved? With what effects on the overall piece?
Play - What role did the initial opportunity to play with materials solo have in your process?
Teamwork - Where is there divergent thinking among partners? Where is there consensus among partners? What are the contributions of each group member? What value does working in a group provide?
Implications for teaching - How would this type of group work on a very open-ended prompt look in the classroom? Consider different age groups. How would it be different if you added guided instruction or liberating constraints?
