Due: Thursday, October 27th, 8 am
Fieldwork: Personal Territory Tour
You should select a territory that is outside of the art building, but within 10-15 minute walk.
1. Stake a claim to your Personal Territory.
2. Establish the boundaries of the Personal Territory.
Take a photo or draw an image to establish the context. What is the size or scale of your territory?
3. Write or record at least 50 things about your chosen site.
Document through writing, drawing, photographing, or any other form. Get beyond those first things, and find out as much as you can about your territory.
4. Select 2-3 explorations from the book. Adapt (if needed) and use them as new perspectives to gathering information to your territory.
5. Go back to the studio. Lay out all your documentation and things that you collected.
6. Organize, prioritize, edit. Ask yourself, “What is most interesting thing I found out about my territory? What is unique? What do I want to share? Develop a point of view.
7. Create an informative self-guided tour that will guide a visitor through the site from your particular perspective. The tour guide needs to be in a physical sharable format (on paper). (i.e. map, cards, diagrams, chart, text, list… think about some of the examples.)
8. Post the following on your blog, under Personal Territory Tour:
a) (1) Image of Personal Territory boundaries
b) 50 things
c) Several examples from 2-3 explorations inspired by the book.
d) images of your ‘Tour guide”.
Have a good time exploring and see you Thursday at 8 am!
