The fates
One of the goals of an upcoming class that I will be teaching is having the students create a series, the goal being having them learn to connect a body of work to itself across multiple pieces.
One of the things my co-teacher and I struggle with is that it is slightly too soon to be giving the students complete freedom. Coming up with a project often creates a huge barrier to actually doing the project.
What we have come up with is structuring the series around various themes and goals. The student would then have a "choose your own adventure" type decision making path that would give them a lot of freedom, yet not be as overwhelming as a blank piece of paper.
What inspired this was learning about another teachers project where he has them do a triptych on the theme, "past, present, future."
So, we don't want to steel his project, but we would like to provide a number of themes for the students to choose between.
I have come up with a few, but I need more.
What groups of three concepts can you think of?
