#readingnotes

Something I have thought about when documenting the reading notes is the quality of how it is documented writing and photograph wise. I thought about re-writing the group notes for documentation sake; but I see that there is a beauty in the “messiness.” With having 5-10 minutes to discuss what we captured from the readings, we chat and swiftly write out what we want to share with our professor and peers. Sometimes, I am the scribe for the group and I find my speed writing takes on its own form. For example, photographed is the word “less” that I wrote with a permanent bullet-tipped marker. I was shocked with how beautiful my s’ came to be! Regarding the poor documentation of photographing the notes, I rush myself to take a photo before I forget to document it which means I do not get the best angle. There is also the rush to take a photo fast so that others can also document it themselves. As we are midway through the class, I am rethinking to take a breather and to photograph the photos neater. However, there is something about being in that 5-10 minute moment and writing and sharing the groups’ learning, discovery, understanding, and questions with the readings that we do that is captured in “scribbles”

This reading reminded me of the activity where we were to write about the space objectively (purely what we see) versus with the perception we hold (emotional, feelings). 

This reading made me wonder if abstract and subjective the same concept or not? I also enjoyed how Irwin used a bridge as an analogy to saying how  about artists setting the intention and potential (spelling error from notes), and knowledge of  history to not simply recreate the same bridge/art.
