Journal #7 - Interactivity
My idea for the interactivity project is to have a picture of a girl dressed up as an angel. I will shoot the image from above and have her hair blowing so it looks like she is falling. I will print the image on a transparency and mount it in front of a modeling light with a large soft box with the tripod extended as high as the ceiling in the darkroom will allow. I will hang white fabric and feathers from the soft box to the ceiling to represent clouds. To add an interactive element, I will give the class handheld fans so they are able to make the "clouds" billow.

Journal #6 - Group Communication
Our group has had two in-person meetings outside of class with just me and Etta (Clarisa was unavailable).
We have planned most of our project during in-person meetings and in class, but we have also used text messaging to keep on the same page.
During our first in-person meeting, Etta and I discussed sidewalk art using popular culture quotes like "Eat at Joe's" and "Kilroy was here" or funny signs like Push for Bat Signal."We also discussed doing some sort of flier art. While we were discussing these ideas, we were also texting Clarisa for her input.
We ultimately decided on putting tiny sculptures around campus with instructions to take a selfie with the figure and send the picture to us. We planned to put fliers around campus so people would know what to look for.
We decided that Etta would design the flier, Clarissa and I would make the figures, I would print the posters and tags and put the figures in random places for people to find them.
Our plans had to change because of the snow. We originally wanted to put the figures outside around campus to break the monotony of college life by allowing students to partake in our little game. Since we couldn't put our figures out in the snow, we altered our plan by deciding to put the figures up around the inside of McKnight because art students are likely to participate in the activity and because the figures are protected from the elements.
We also had to reorganize our delegation of duties because some people in the group didn't feel like they were contributing enough, and some felt like they couldn't get anything done until someone else finished their part.
After this rearrangement, the delegation of duties was as follows:
Etta - create powerpoint
Clarisa - create six characters, render drawings of characters, composite into poster, Photoshop characters into the places we had intended them to go on campus before it snowed.
Me - create three characters, photograph characters, photograph places they were intended to go on campus before it snowed, photograph places that we will actually place the figures inside McKnight, print posters (place on bulletin boards on each floor of McKnight), tie laminated tags around each figure with instructions that explain the "game," place three figures on each floor of McKnight.
After the figures are put out, we plan to get selfie photographs from people who find the figures and compile them into a collage. The worst case scenario is that no one finds the figures and we don't get any selfies to make a collage or the figures get thrown away accidentally.
