[assignment 005]alright my pumpkin pies! it's Halloween!!! how magically fantastical! this week, if you decided to be a lame-ooo and not dress up in costume for the wicken festivities, I would like you to post an outline for the speech you will be giving on your studio design project. the outline should be overly detailed expelling what will be said, who will say it, and an estimated time frame of how long each person will be talking. since you are working in groups it's perfectly fine to work on this together, but I want it individually posted ... if you dressed up in costume for our class today then you're exemp from the assignment. the other members of your group are responsible for completing it.<br />
This is just a rough draft to get an idea of what you'll be discussing. later you'll have to go back as a group and finalize your speeches!!<br />
<br />
have fun & HAPPY HALLOWEEN :)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954448254627362965.post-44382040930172862642011-10-24T05:38:00.000-07:002011-10-24T05:38:13.780-07:00Blog That!

<br />
after talking with Scott last week friday and learning a little bit more about the effects of light in space, this week I would like you to blog about what you discovered about light.<br />
<br />
How will natural and artificial lighting improve your space?<br />
Will you use focal lighting to direct people?<br />
How will you create moments of interest within your space using light?<br />

Discuss your performance and how well you think you did.<br />
Was the speech given by the Speaking Center representative helpful?<br />
Did you visit the Speaking Center before presenting?<br />
If so, was it helpful - if not, do you think you might have done a better job if you did go?<br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">My day began much as anyother day began with the happiness I feel as I park in the Gatewood parking lot. God I do love parking there and no longer having to ride the park and ride bus. When I got out of my car I was finishing up my morning-car-drive cigarette that I have on my way to campus everyday. When I arrived upstairs I remembered that we were having our tour of the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #b45f06;">Industries of the Blind</span> today. I sort of did a face-in-palm deal in not remembering my favorite pencil that I use for all my sketches an 8B led pencil. As our class walked over to the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #b45f06;">Industries of the Blind</span> I lit up another cigarette enjoying it as I walked slowly savoring every last puff and drag. When we arrived at the building I, like so many others, hated the ugly main entrance. As I walked inside I felt a cold chill wash over me unsure as to wether it was the air conditioning or the cold embrace of the building itself. I looked to the left and noticed the big glass window of the main lobby separating the vistors or employees from the lady that is buzzing us into the main parts of the building. When I got buzzed into the second area I noticed immediately the odd and out of place little floral garden that has been placed there underneath the stairs. As I traversed the stairs I wondered what wonderful machinery would be held within the confines of this building. When I got to the second floor we were met by David Lopresti and he proceeded to tell us all about the history of the building and its employees.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">I was very intrigued to learn about the history of the people who had been working here and all the other things that David had to share with us. Just a little bit of information about the company: The Industry of the blind has two hundred and fifteen employees and on hundred and fifteen of those is legally blind. The terms for being legally blind are having twenty over two hundred vision or worse. Only a select few of the employees are totally blind. As we began our official tour of the factory I noticed how much the factory floor looked just like the factory that I was working at in Norway. They had those odd little painted lanes that are solely for dictating foot and machinery traffic. When we got to this one press that had an awesome amount of camouflage on it and was being used to cut out templates for the bullet proof vests that are supplied to the army or at least they looked like they were the cut outs for those vests. When we left that room we continued onto the other room and were meet by a very eccentric woman who was running a shirt press that was putting out shirts and sleeves that were being used for the wicket shirts. When we were finished with our tour we then precede to measure out the area assigned to us and Anna Hambly and I knocked that out within minutes.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

I hope everyone realized how incredible the workers of IOB are and how much of an honor it is to even think about <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">ReDesigning</span></i> a space for them.<br />
I find that when taking on any project the most important thing you must do is fully understand your client. Then, you must invest everything within yourself into your <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">Design</span></i>. You have to fully commit and that is the only way you can produce a truly great piece of <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c;">A</span></i><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c;">rt</span></i>.<br />

Maya Angelou said ...<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #b45f06;">"There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you."</span></span><br />
<br />
So tell me your story ...<br />
<br />
For your <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;">Blog Assignment 001</span> I want you to <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">Narrate</span></i> your experience through the Industries of the Blind. Walk me through what you saw. Tell me what you learned. Describe to me how you felt throughout your time there. Use one ... three ... twenty five ...... two hundred and forty one pictures to help <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">tell your story</span></i>.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #b45f06;">i only want everything ...</span></i></span><br />
and by that i mean at least 521 words and one [if you want to be boring] picture<br />

<br />
The company mission is, "to provide opportunities for employment and personal development for people who are blind or visually impaired to achieve greater independence."<br />
<br />
While touring the building we were all introduced to an environment we would have never otherwise thought of. Firstly, there are so many different categories under the title "legally blind." Some workers have Diabetic Retinopathy, Macular Degeneration, Retinitis Pigmentosa, Glaucoma, and some are completely blind. It was an amazing visit and an opportunity to engage with so many different people.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Mr. Carter came to visit our studios to discuss the University of North Carolina, Greensboro's Academic Integrity Policy. He had a lot to say about the topic and engaged all of us in an energetic conversation. The experience was enjoyable and entertaining! Rather than explaining our whole Academic Integrity Policy, I'll sum it up for you ... Don't cheat and site your sources or you'll get kicked out of school, never get into another university, and you may get your degree taken away! Honestly ... it's not that hard.</div><br />

</div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;">For my final diagram, I decided to break the experience into five different sections. the first is the entrance to the sculpture garden, the second is inside the sculpture garden, the third is the overhang, the fourth is the vestibule, and the last is the lobby. I wanted to focus on the way the light effects the experience as you make your way towards the lobby. the entrance to the sculpture garden and the garden itself are both completely naturally lit, and therefor the light is uncontrollable. this effects the way the sun shines or doesn't shine on the sculptures as you pass through the garden. the next picture of the overhang is a lot darker and shaded and takes you out of the direct sunlight. you then pass through the vestibule, which is also darker than the garden. I think these two experiences are very important to the experience of walking to the lobby because you start out in such light and then you are immediately pulled into a darker setting. then as you enter the lobby you are thrown into a soft white light that is much calmer and lighter than the other lighting that you have experienced.<br />

Generally, students as originators prefer the fluidity to make their way by challenging rules and systems... and openly embrace change. Students as conservers tend toward the security of the known and familiar... often resisting change. Students as pragmatists balance these two constructs of the world. In our studio, we ended with a balance of roughly thirds in each category, with slightly more than half leaning toward conserver tendencies. Both of the instructors for the course [Lucas and Gonzalez] scored high as originators, with only one student higher on the scale.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: auto;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 13px;"><br />
