so monday classes are at emily carr university (yes, folks, it is on the granville island! what a fantastic place for a school..). local profs will be trying to squeeze the creativity out of us there. this monday was the first attempt. i thought it was pretty interesting to just let go and play with different ways of expression (drawing, music, sound). targeting different senses in a make over of a little red riding hood fairy tale was one of the coolest parts of the day. we have 5 (6?) awesome senses, but we are so dependent on vision! what if my thoughts get translated into sound, texture, smell or taste?
vjeko, the leader of the day and a teacher at emily carr, put us in the driver's seat (for most of the day anyways), something that most of the profs at sfu and many other universities would never even consider doing!! so this theme of us, students being both creators and receptors of knowledge is continuing which i really, really like. this is what education should be like! well, at least at this stage of earth's development when humans know almost nothing anyways. :-)
throughout the day vjeko was taking pictures and some videos. if you're interested to see them click here.
