Class Commentary: 08-01-09

It was the first day of class and not very much was discussed besides the objective and schedule of the class. The accumulation project is something I am looking forward to making. Concepts will help motivate me towards more content based sculpture, which is perhaps my natural state. I have always been an object maker and have fought with two sides of my mind. One side would like to make mostly formal objects(i.e. wheel thrown ceramics or visually dynamic sculpture) and a deeper part wants to explore ideas in simply made objects with aesthetics akin to early conceptualism.
