Writing New Media — Day 1
I’ll have to keep these entries as brief as possible because there isn’t a lot of time available for none workshop related activities during the day, unless, of course, heading down for some local brew is involved.
Yesterday, we started off with a cool activity that led us into a discussion on materialty (i.e. how it constrains production). We made name plates, a standard practice on the first day of class, but Anne had set us up with all those supplies we were familiar with in childhood (and a few new ones): construction paper, crayons, pipe cleaners, etc., (and some glitter glue).
