Today February 22nd in class we began our new projects based off the reading we had in class called Cathedral and the movie we spent time watching in class about Frank Gehry. My team was selected to design a homeless shelter for a small town. We decided to be creative with it, while still making it seem like a homeless shelter.
I liked this project a lot because it made my group and I work together as a team instead of just individually, like in the mindbooks, where we would be creative on our own. We had a plan from the beginning to make it simple, but still a friendly looking place for people to enjoy and feel comfortable with being there. We all agreed upon this, and that really opened my eyes to something I have been trying to figure out for quite some time now. I have been recently trying to write my own scripts for several videos I plan to make, to show future employers, friends, families, and complete strangers on the internet. I realized that a lot of time these script writers, directors, and producers I idolize do not work a lone on these projects. Although they may have these titles that show they are in charge and undoubtedly they have control over a lot that happens they still work with other people. In the Frank Gehry film it was mentioned how the ideas were not just his, but collective. Frank had partners too, and although they were not the front man they were still a participant in the group.
I have a full understanding that I can no longer just sit on the sidelines while the world is passing me by. I have to find things to inspire me and to help me create amazing works of art.
