HOMEWORK #3Due Wednesday, February 2 OBSERVE AND SKETCH "EXPRESSIVE" SCENARIOSObserve someone doing an "expressive" activity. Pay
particular attention to the devices or controllers they are using. For
example, a musician uses an instrument, a painter uses a brush, a
pastry chef uses a icing bag, a sushi chef uses a very sharp knife.
Think about alternative controllers and think about how the activity
would be more or less expressive. For example, a flute player blows a
jet of air over a hole; a whistle or recorder player has the jet formed
for him and lacks the expressive "freedom" of a flute player. The goal of this assignment is to ground your ideas in direct observation, to look in detail at what "expressive" means and to begin thinking about what makes controllers more or less "expressive".During class on Wednesday, we will compare sketches and have
a short discussion. In the process, you might have some ideas about a
controller that you would like to build for this course.
