Assignments

1. Read the attached Ch 4 Space and Place by Yi Fu Tuan.

2. With your partner, develop an intervention for two persons.  Be prepared to share them in class next week.  Consider the following:  What does the intervention do to change the way you might see, sense or feel, communicate?

3. Reflect on the challenges and discoveries that you’ve made in your work and progress at ADM and be prepared to give a presentation next week sharing 2-3 works that you think illustrate a story about those challenges and discoveries about yourself and your interests while at ADM.
