Project 1: Part A

The first project of the semester dealt with identifying different material qualities and enclosure conditions in a abstract way.  By this, I mean paying close attention to certain attributes.  When identifying a wall, we couldn't just find a random wall and take a picture.  Rather, we had to determine what qualifies as walling.  Was it a structure that prevented you from seeing across, or a given line that separated spaces?  The same went for all conditions and qualities that were listed.  The pictures displayed in the other blog were all taken by me (as usual), and four of them were used to represent certain qualities or conditions for my studio's section.  Most were taken in Springfield, but there are a few from other locations such as Potosi, St. Louis, and Sainte Genevieve.  To add a little fun and mystery, I did not explain what the pictures were or even what abstraction they account for.  I'll leave that up to the viewer.

Enclosure Conditions:  walling, layering, screening, shading, cladding, wrapping

Material Qualities:  thickness/thinness, proximity/adjacency, connection, edge, surface, transparency/opacity
