Charles and Ray Eames
Today our class watched the short film "Powers of Ten," by Charles and Ray Eames. Charles and Ray Eames are among the most accomplished American designers of the 20th century. This movie took us through a visual micro, and macro world outlook advancing to a degree of ten each time, showing how people could view things related to this world. The point was to enlighten people about perspective, and perception. How do we view two people having a picnic in the park? Times that to the tenth power, then view what may be around them; roads, buildings, other people, cars, etc, eventually ending light years away in outer-space.
Honey I Blew up the 1040:
Ryan and Bryan (nice) our wonderful fellow classmates did a great thing by enlarging the 2 pages of the 1040 US Individual Income Tax Return Forms for the class. This allowed us to focus in on more of the details of the form rather than the entire thing at once. This was a great immersive technique; reminded me of Jackson Pollock's painting tactics.
