preliminaries: Bubble Body drawing assignment

1.Choose a bubble from the bubble workshop with Kerstin on 28.11. (specify one foto as your base image)

2.Imagine it as a space of any scale large enough to contain you.

3.Imagine yourself within the space that bubble would make; what shape does it give to your bodyspace?

4.Draw the bubble as a space with yourself (or any human figure) inside it. Show us how that shape of space would feel to the body being in it, what shape the body’s space can take in a space of that shape.

Drawing due: after the holidays, to accompany the main homework assignment, presenting group concepts for the space.
