Residency - Barton Open School - Allison Rubin Forester - 6.00 Hours

This week I have been working on my lesson plan for Allison’s Geometry class. I’ve gotten the green light from her to continue evolving my idea and concepts. I have set aside one month for me to work on the plan, which I think will be enough time for me to make a lesson that will get kids excited.

The direction for my lesson plan has to do with coding, the Fluxus movement, and collaboration. I am still working out the specifics and details of the project, but I think that’s the direction I want to go. The website will give randomized prompt to do specific and eccentric performances or actions for a brief period of time. I’d hope to try to have the kids interact with the website, as if it’s a canvas digitized. We’ll see what my limitations are and where to change/ shift things. But for now, I’ve started to prep my computer with the necessary scripts and code to accomplish what I want my website to do.

Shadowing - MIA - Krista Pearson - 1.00 hour

Last week I met with Krista Pearson at the MIA. She and I discussed availability and the potential meetings that I could sit in and observe. I am excited for this opportunity and look forward to learning what I can during my shadowing with Krista.
