Want 2 Weeks Instead of 11?

I'd mentioned that my class is adapted from a course method first applied at the Corcoran School of Art. One thing I didn't mention is that the students there only got 2 weeks for 80 works, not 11!

Here's a quote from the artist Angie Drakopoulos about her experience in that class:

"The Corcoran encouraged students to work with many different media and explore new ideas. What I really learned was a way of thinking about art, not necessarily how to make it, but how to think about making it. One of my favorite exercises, in my junior year, was a project to make 80 works in two weeks.  We were given specific instructions on different media that had to be used, or an idea to be incorporated, or a color, or words for a piece to refer to. It was exhilarating; it really opened my mind to the possibilities of making art. Also, because of the project’s size and deadline, you couldn’t spend too much time on any individual work; so you achieved a certain degree of detachment from the end result, which allowed a lot of latent ideas and tendencies to surface. I think that was the first time I experienced art as a mind-game."

I think this a perfect description of the kind of spirit we're looking to bring to this class as we really begin to stretch our talent.
