This pre -visualization summarizes my feeling in regards to my classroom environment. The constraints I face on a daily basis seems as it is a repetitive cycle, monitoring student learning and also behavior are real roadblocks. This tree represents growth as an existing infrastructure. The branches are swirling, jagged and crooked as they are represent the lack in resources that are intangible to me in the classroom.
As seen in my previous visualization, (3) the students are represented as actual organic forms, designed by incorporating insulation foam with paint. Here, there are three students represented by the forms, black in color. I think I chose black as they inhabit so many difficulties in their daily lives, learning seems to always be the least priority to them. Many are struggling with emotional problems, drug dependencies and struggle with configuring how to obtain instructional goals.
My future research will explore to further my artistic practice in relation to medical practice. I feel I want to re-visit this visualization. Kevin, could I possibly get some feedback so I may revisit this to polish and unpack further for next week. Thank you!
This is so cool Brette! The color choice is especially interesting and I really lie the textures that you added (is that paint? It looks almost like silly string)
