Tim brought in his videos from where he lives and also shots from Victory Project. Good stuff. Deep conversations ensued. It's so interesting to see all the differences in everyone's personal space and how we each choose to present our lives on video. Some of us don't have a place to call our own. The sounds outside of the places we live are different everywhere you go. Sometimes the soundscape is buzzing with traffic, sometimes all you can hear are the birds and children playing. Sometimes there are lots of people, sometimes there isn't a soul around. Ashia has the Flip cam tonight!
Michael showed us the basics of SketchUp, a free software program used for 3D modeling and stuff. Here's a plan of the Armory:
It turns out Nate's free-standing project that we worked on from last week was so strong it could hold up a metal stool!
Mine was having trouble with the wobbly support...
In the afternoon we watched Man on Wire, the story about a man who had a passion for tight roping. He succeeded in sneaking his team and equipment into the towers to rig the setup. After a lot of planning and close calls, he finally succeeded in reaching his dream and tight roped between the two World Trade Center buildings in the 70's. Although he was arrested for trespassing and disorderly conduct, which was pretty funny in a way, his feat became famous. The story was really inspiring...
Speaking of inspiring, we just made an Inspiration Page (link to the right), or an Art Dump, or a Style Sheet, whatever you want to call it. It just got going, but its purpose is to show any and all of whatever it is that inspires us!
