This actually emerged during some earlier discussion in class regarding options for the website. I don’t remember who – Manjekar? Sharouk?Justin?… – but someone suggested for everyone to complete the sentence “The best of the Arts in New York for me was/is…”
Everyone could just choose a specific moment which they really enjoyed, or something new they discovered – in the city or about the arts, or their favorite outing as a class, or which performance they remember the most, or what they liked about poems or about having working artists visiting the class, or… Some would write something serious, some not-so-serious, anything goes. All responses should short. We might get quite an interesting mixture of “best impressions.”
Once you have the responses you need to organize them – put them together as a string of responses? A long list? A kind of collage? Perhaps accompanied by a slide show? Add music? Add your comments? Add beautiful aroma? O.K., I am kidding … (We have lots of goodies on the blog – e. g. all the students’ photos for the “Public Art” assignment. Perhaps you could use some of these riches.)
Right now three people volunteered to organize & coordinate this part: Adrian, Lucius & Kevin. Good. That’s already serious manpower. Of course you can still add a couple more colleagues to help you conceptualize it or to perform specific tasks. You might want to consult Chris too.
As far as I am concerned, anything you decide is fine with me. Just do something nice.
