7. I Am, Therefore I Write
The lecture with Gemma June Howell serves to get you working effectively in
your newly appointed groups. It also encourages you to think about the
construction of art, specifically creative writing and poetry, and how this can be
related to design. To do justice to your design ideas, we encourage you to look
at the world through the eyes of a child- as if everything you see, touch, taste
or smell you have done for the first time in your life. Keeping this sense of
wonder will enable you to think freely and metaphorically about your ideas.
Do not agonise over ideas: the materials for your design strategies are all
around you and you have to let your senses be a channel for them.
Activity: In your own time, with your workbook at the ready, sit and close your
eyes. Keep them closed for three minutes, then note down the sounds that came
to you in this period of attentiveness. If what you have written makes a
narrative, write it in the space below.
Feedback (Cont. Overleaf):
Conclusion: This exercise will encourage you to get a sense of your environment
as a new comer. Take note of the noises, smells, and general feelings you
encounter during your three minute observation and work into a narrative.
