Thursday fun with food! Our last food layered class (altho food is never gone!)

===
Again it took until this morning to finalize what we are doing today. Thanks to Anne we will be experiencing TOMATO SAUCE in storytelling details and reflection! She will bring spaghetti and I will bring spirialized zucchini as canvases upon which to appreciate her creation!

NO CLASS NEXT WEEK! Use the time to work on projects, do any catching up necessary, and to MEET WITH CLASS PARTNERS! THINK PROJECTS! be sure you have EVERYONE'S CONTACT INFO! Remember to poke around reading the required and recommended course texts in any order you like and no matter whether we discuss in class: they are your resources for projects!

We will then return to our earlier classroom and start the DRAWING LAYER! 

BRING DRAWING MATERIALS FOR YOURSELF
BRING YOUR VISUAL DIARY YOU HAVE BEEN KEEPING AFTER EACH CLASS

Which layer(s) will your project take up?

draw => making practices and the neurobiology of learning
stories => social change and community making
games => techno-trickery and the critical role of fun
screens and role play => infrastructure and new materialities
