Final Project Family Portrait

This week has been dedicated to getting the Final Project ball rolling. One half of this endeavor involved conducting A LOT OF RESEARCH and then thinking and mind-mapping and MORE RESEARCH and more thinking, and then writing. The other half involved sketching and consulting and testing materials, and more sketching and more consulting, and maybe stretching a canvas or building a room or ordering paper or strapping on a camera. At the heart of it all is a topic, a question, or a theme that drives the critical inquiry and creative practice. Each student's Final Project is born from and revolves around this...well, let's call it a nugget. So this week's blog post is extra special: we asked each member of OS29 to describe their Final Project "nugget" in one word, and then every advisory group took a family portrait. What you see here is a combo word/photo portrait of the entire class. Special, right?
