Art 220 - Shifting Meaning Activity

Monday... concept development class, when it really feels like a Tuesday already.

Today in class we turn in a revise comic of our lives as a graphic novel (from day 2 - concept development) and how we got to Cal State L.A. (too bad I forgot to snap a picture to post... maybe I'll get it back and if I do, I'll show you all the revised version)  Our instructor, Professor Moss had us all get into a group discussion to try to categorize everyone's work from best to not-so-best... I hung around the top of the ranks in the beginning but began to swing towards the mid section of the selections as everyone got a chance to walk around and vote for their favorites. We were given 20 mins to agree on organizing all of our work as a collaborative group, set with certain criterias. Those criteria being: 1.) clarity of message 2.) neatness 3.) creativity and 4.) use of colors.
We were asked if it was frustrating and honestly it was, only because the group was too large but we all did agree on the order of the ranking but ended up not really following our set criteria. Well, at least I thought that everyone agreed and some people didn't even speak up once. Although there was leadership clashes and frustration amongst us... I still had fun and the shifting meaning activity that followed after was also enjoyable too!

More to come.. I'm taking a nap-break and then finishing up some work for Color Theory class!
