Tuesday:
Meet at the lab at 11:30 sharp!
Together we will be walking to the Arboretum nature centre to participate in an environmental conservation activity: Bird Banding with Chris Earley.
Please come dressed for weather and walking, and bring a water bottle and snacks if needed.
Thursday:
Please come to class – we will have a special guest artist: Megan Arnold
See her video – Are We Human, Or Are We Skater
Megan will be showing some of her own work in video – and introducing you to our local video art and media support centre: ED VIDEO

During the final 1. 5 hours of in-class time – please develop loose video art ideas – related to an artist, and environmental subject of your choice. Make a blog post and prepare to discuss your research and ideas in the next class.
Each student will make a blog post that includes some images/drawings/notes as needed – you must include research, images, and reflections on ways you might interpret and respond to the information in a video to be shot in the arboretum, or in controlled, studio conditions. Choose a partner to work with today – but each student will make their own blog post reflecting on the themes and ideas for working.
This research and process notes are the foundation for your video art project. You must have a completed blog post due for show and tell during our next class – where we will be discussing your research, and video art ideas.
