Today was a lengthy studio session. It involved going through everyone's esquisse and letting them explain it. Although I like this idea of group discussion, these presentations went on FOREVER. I think it would've been better to have just the tutor go through the presentations in small groups, as the amount of time that was spent on it severely cut into the time I was hoping to have to work on my atlas in class. I guess they only good thing about it was that I had a revelation about the navigation system for my atlas while I was meant to be listening to other peoples presentations. It's all revolved around the weather, but I'm not sure I'll use it yet, so we'll see how it turns out.
Anyway earlier that day we went for a bit of a field trip to the central synagogue (ironically nowhere near Central station) to have a look at the 49 veils work. This was a great exercise as it showed us how colour layering could produce different effects, along with harmony and contrast and other colour related techniques we had learned in class but not quite seen in real life. Although the task we were meant to be complete was a bit sketchy at first, we managed to finish up relatively early with enough information and measurements to finish it at home.
Following my navigation idea, I drew up this sheet to help myself grasp the concept of how it would work out:
