Greetings, Art & Science Lovers!

I hope you had as much fun listening to Richard Taylor speak as Robert & I did this morning. What an interesting trajectory his life has taken all due to an interest in Jackson Pollock that developed at the age of 10! His continuing research and practice are based on this 40 year interest. You can learn more here: http://pages.uoregon.edu/msiuo/taylor/human_response/Pollock%28FractalExpressionism2003%29.pdf and here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnj-UoAKnUQ. For those of you unable to join us at class today, I particularly recommend watching his TedTalk via the YouTube link.

A reminder to complete your next Journal entry (#9) that addresses what you learning from Dr. Taylor and from visiting the CAMCOR labs. In particular, talk about how you will/are considering applying these ideas and experiences to your term project. Due no later than 10a.m. Thursday.

For Thursday, please remember to bring your laptops/tablets for our session with Mar Gonzales-Palacio, Art Librarian, regarding researching artists and art. It will be a very informative session!

Also, another reminder to continue developing and creating ideas for display of research (Creative Display 1). Working a little bit on this each day will take you far toward a strong mockup of your intended creative work for the rest of the term. Draft Due and Presented in Week 5.

Finally, there’s an upcoming event that may be of interest to some of you (or all of you since it offers FREE LUNCH!). The basic information is here:
