We had our first work session last night. Everybody introduced themselves and wrote their bio for the credits section of Ten Lives in Queens County. We had some lively discussions generated by looking at other zines. Everyone is enthusiastic and has a lot of different view points regarding life in Queens. In four weeks, all of these differing view points will be unified into a tangible book artifact and a visual art exhibition. The differing view points will remain, differing view points.
We examined different written works and talked about how the writers used imagery to create a sense of place. At the end of the session, every one got an assignment to create something written, something visual or something written and visual.
Next week, we'll look at everyone's creations. We'll also explore some strategies to create collaborative works of art. If collaborations occur for the finished product, beautiful. If not, still beautiful.
Then, I , as the gentle encouraging, guiding force behind this project, will look at everyone's creation and gently encourage and guide the process along.
