These journals will not be formally critiqued until the last class, but occasional checks by faculty and or peers are scheduled. By the final critique your journal will be completed as a book form, an object, a sculpture, a base for animation or time based project, an installation, or whatever format you choose.
The basic expectation and objective of this Journal Entry Project is to give you a moment, (uncompromised as best we can) to react, respond, note, rant, collect, explain, ask and ultimately remember and witness how you see.

"Quite against what I expected, I found myself strangely excited by the bombed buildings, but still more by the unbelievable scenes and life of the underground shelters... I went into London two or three days a week to do my shelter drawings... I began filling a notebook with drawings - ideas based on London's shelter life. Naturally I could not draw in the shelter itself; I drew from memory on my return home" -- Henry Moore

"Castle used drawings to examine everything in sight. With a mixture of stove soot and his own saliva on tips of sharpened sticks he recorded his immediate surroundings, the interior and exterior of his house, the shed, the barn, in drawings with perfect perspective."
