If you build it, they will come...
to architecture immersion day that is. The day began with a lecture
from Melody-Farris Jackson who has been a guest artist at GSA for
the past two years. She presented a slideshow of her work during
morning announcements. It was a new twist on the "typical slideshow
presentation" because she included a short poem with each slide that
represented how she felt about that particular piece of art. Ms.
Jackson's presentation gave the students great insight into the idea
that architecture really and truly is a precious art form. It is
something that must be taught artistically to preserve the
imagination, creativity, discipline, and precision that goes into
every step of the detailed process.
Students participated in an enlightening
architecture smorgasbord that involved a public art installation.
The installation art piece students completed involved changing the
way people who travel through a space view the space by connecting
trees with twine.
Monday was a long day of studios, which means
practice, practice, and more practice. And when they're done with
that, they can practice some more. But excitement is mounting as the
final day performance draws nearer. Time spent in studio will pay
off when they showcase the new polish they have gained to their
already present talent.
