Since the Open House showcases 3rd and 4th drawing, this is an opportunity for you to exhibit your drawings and learn about how to install your work and make connections.
This would likely be a morning or afternoon install and deinstall but let's shoot for 1:00pm.
If you can help with the installation please contact Yvonne Singer at: [email protected]

Hello Everyone,
This is just a note about over-enrolment. If you are a student that wants to drop this course because of scheduling conflicts or other reasons please remember that there are other students, many who need this course for their degree, that are waiting to get into the course.
See Len Lye's experimental abstract film composition regarding the line - set to music in 1958.
Check-out the syllabus link under "Four Major Projects" for examples of good student work from previous years. Ask yourself does my work constitute abstraction? Am I using multiple lines? Is my work original and does it fit within the parameters and limitations of the project requirements? You can see from the student work that they used very minimal materials to achieve fantastic results.
Here is the on-line companion to the book entitled on-Line that I showed in class.
Here is a serious and yet funny look at artisanal pencil sharpening. Watch the video by David Rees.

Project #1 and Homework assignments...
When researching line you might want to consider setting up some sort of parameter for yourself. This will help you break a creative block and give you a plan and destination to work towards. You can divide a large piece of paper into a grid by either folding it or drawing the grid. Use each section to draw to music. Different types of music should elicit different types of marks. Keep a record of the composition titles on the back of the paper. Have fun!
T. Ouellette
For mark-making exercises consider some of the following music if you can find it:
Raymond Murray Schafer
Meredith Monk
Steve Reich
Maria Callas
Phillip Glass
Zakir Hussain
Brian Eno
Here are some other links easily found on the www either for your listening torture or pleasure (depending on how you see it). Try just listening to the sound do not look at the video while trying to produce your marks. The point is to respond to the sound and the physical quality of pencil on paper. You might want to think about notation and look at how modern and contemporary composers have used mark-making in notation.
John Cage playing amplified cacti and plant materials with a feather
Wang YaMeng & Su Meng
Krzysztof Penderecki
John Cage "4'33''
Max Neuhaus
Hildegard Westerkamp
Tatiana Nikolayeva
David Tudor
Iannis Xenakis
Stravinsky
György Ligeti
Luc Ferrari
Alvin Lucier
