2ND YEAR STUDIO UPDATE

Last Wednesday (Sept. 9th) we turned in our first project of the semester. It was an abstract project that focused on different interpretations of defining path, procession and place. One way in which path, procession and place were explored was by finding the definition and writing a haiku on each piece. Read more about 2nd year studio updateshere.
