In class this evening, we observed a collection of static objects. As part of your homework for next week, along with your readings and blog posts, you have a two-part observation exercise:
1) Find a place where you can observe people in motion for 10-15 minutes. This should be an
observation of people you don't already know -- an observation of 'strangers'. Use your senses to observe: not only vision, but hearing and other senses as well. Write up what you observe and post it to your blog.
2) Observe a person or people you know well while they are in motion for 10-15 minutes. As with the previous observation, use your senses, and write up your observation and post it to your blog.
3) After completing the two 'people in motion' observations, write a third short blog post reflecting on your experience, and 'noticing how you are noticing'. What did you learn about yourself as an observer through this exercise?
