3 Things Sept 3rd ✰

Today was our first day of class. :)During the class we were introduced to our peers and the syllabus through fun and interactive games. These games included following our partners drawing movements on a piece of paper and a two-team game where we were quizzed on topics from the syllabus. Throughout the course of the class there were three things that left a significant impact on my understanding of the people in our class and the study and creating of Time Arts.
         The first thing that stuck in my mind was the results of the hands on drawing peer game. This game really stuck in my mind because it showed the observer how we can tell a lot about a person when they are focused on something. Also, you can tell a lot about a persons characteristics by their body language and their interaction with you whilst completing a task.
         The next thing I that I thought was important was in our class projects there is to be no use of music. You can make rhythm that has been created by yourself usually by miscellaneous sounds or spoken sentences stringed together. However, the use of more than 30% background music to your piece is not allowed and can take away from your personal Time Arts piece.
         In addition to the observation above, I noticed that the use of vibrant and variant colors could really leave an impression on the project and the observer of the project. We were shown a previous students project, which incorporated zippers. I really liked this piece. I liked how she used a pop art movement as her background color scheme and used the onomatopoeic sound of zippers to be her background music
