I’m TAing with the FYE Studio this semester and, for their first assignment, the students were asked to introduce themselves with hand-crafted calling cards. The rules were open to interpretation – make 32 (one for each student) objects (card, sculpture, popsicle stick, whatever) sharing your name and contact information with the rest of the class. No bigger than 3″ x 5″. They were encouraged to push the assignment’s boundaries, to\u00a0 conceptualize outside the box and create something truly weird and wonderful.<\/p>

These are what the students made. It’s some seriously cool sh*t.<\/p>

I’ve realized that I miss the physical making process. So often, I feel like I need to build something out digitally, I need to translate my work to the digital realm. There’s nothing wrong with that, of course. There is no right way to do anything. I just miss hand-crafting STUFF.<\/p>

I’m also curious, how would you guys introduce yourself through a calling card? What would that “thing” look like?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
