String Project :3

Class is always better when you can get up and actaully do something. I've never been big into computers so I really liked that we could make the entire room into the project... plus, string is cool. When I was younger I would often fill me room with string. The room is now a wonderful mess (minus the cleaning part) my only regret is that we didn't get as creative as we could have. The chairs could've been stacked much higher. It would've been really neat to have gotton some string up to the ceiling. Maybe the risk of breaking a light dissuaded most of us from attempting to throw the balls of yarn up. I really liked what Jamie and Emilia did with the pink string, weaving the string like a pink web was cool and it was neat how Emila thought to actually lay the string on the ground to make a picture.
I think that maybe if Brain had waited to tell us we had to clean it all up without cutting after we'd actually put string all over the room, we might have been a bit more crazy with our "lines". We should have encorporated more poeple into the work, like stringing them to the tables and stools. Maybe surrounding them with string so that it would look like they were in a cacoon. If we were allowed to do it again, it would be really neat to see how we adjust our methods. It might be more organized or even more chaotic, either would be interesting to see how it turns out. This definately surpasses an ordinary class setting. How many students can say they did their asignments while surrounded by string? We didn't think about it while we were going string crazy, but many people have string all over the chairs and in front of their computers. It's amusing to look around and watch as people try to bend around the string to type.
