the
DAILY
Plotted Course
Here's a taste of the schedule
Everyday starts with a warm up to have some fun at your current level.
Then we move into a presentation to populate your visual library with historical achievements.
Then we apply what we just saw to take a step forward in quality.
Then we reflect and discuss on what happened to cement it in in a journal.
Before the presentation, students will build one mushroom every single day in a cavern to utilize subconscious iteration.
4.45-5.05 PM
Central Warmup
Carve your sword
Emerging into a mysterious world, you are presented with a test of skill for your fundamental tool: left click break. The Grand Wizard is looking for new giant sword designs to adorn his tower. Can you translate your vision true?

Driving Presentation
Dr
What is "Seeing the Angel in the Marble"?
Michaelangelo sculpted his pieces by first seeing the finished piece, then cutting away what wasn't there. We explore the process of artistic eyes by naming the anatomy of a sword. Then, we fill our vision with examples of swords and how each part has difference.
5.20-6.20 PM
Main Exercise
Carve your sword, again
We carve another to see just how a rich mind creates rich forms by learning the 3D modeling tool in Minecraft: Axiom.
6.20-6.45 PM
Reflect
Why does changing what you've seen change what you can create?
Journal and use active reflection techniques to write a paragraph on why your ability to build changed. What came to mind when you were making your new sword?
10.00-10.20 AM Central Warmup
Can you see ten things in one shape?
Parkour around an abstract sculpture to get multiple views & journal in your book & quill what sights you capture.
10.20-10.35 AM
Driving Presentation
Why is what you naturally see important?
Let's understand how humans have documented our inner life using symbolized personalities in animals. How do we recognize our natural processes of thought?
10.35-11.35 AM
Main Exercise
Build your animal totem statue
Use the mental listening/programming skills from the warm up and the driving question presentation to pick out an animal from the 2D noise, imagine it in 3D, and build it in the sculpture garden by hand or with Axiom.
11.35-11.50 AM
Reflect
What happened in your vision when you programmed your Reticular Activating System (RAS)?
What happened in your mind when you turned a 2D shape to a 3D sculpture?
4.45-5.05 PM
Central Warmup
Sow some seeds
Start by building a 1x1 "seed" of a house for your animal totem with a selection of blocks. Upscale it to use 2x2 blocks, then 3x3, then step back and assess for the 4x4 and make notable additions or subtractions to get closer to a theme of the house.
5.05-5.20 PM
Driving Presentation
Dr
Why a house has what?
We populate our visual library with the forces behind a house architecture to see how needs turn into objects. A rich mind creates rich forms.
5.20-6.20 PM
Main Exercise
Build the 5x5 house
By building a growing process of a house, we understand how your intention seeks to expand and thrive alongside the made form. With each iteration, we align the house closer to the needs of the animal.
6.20-6.45 PM
Reflect
What small decision evolved into reality?
Did your idea lead more or did the form lead you more? How did the scale of the shape change your idea of what the animal needed?
10.00-10.20 AM Central Warmup
Build your 6x6 house
Each student is given a set amount of blocks to make your bridge to cross a gap.
Building off of yesterday's house, we finish our upscale "walk-up" to a refined 5x5
10.20-10.35 AM
Driving Presentation
How to not be frustrated
See how great innovators danced between FTBT (first thought, best thought) and TASB (take a step back), and the consequential unique innovation from unintentionality. A rich mind will always create rich forms.
10.35-11.35 AM
Main Exercise
Destruction to compound creation
You receive two TNT to blow up a part of a neighbor's house. You then must go back to your house and build something twice as amazing in the hole. This teaches how to continue moving with mistakes as opportune inspiration.
11.35-11.50 AM
Reflect
Resist or adapt?
How did you feel about your house getting destroyed? What did you want to do when building it again? How will you utilize mistakes in the future?
4.45-5.05 PM
Central Warmup
Parkour through five different kinds of contrast
Give them names.
5.05-5.20 PM
Driving Presentation
Dr
How do artists use contrast to communicate?
Going beyond the limits of the word, Contrast is a universal principle that all made objects exhibit. We will explore how great artists harnessed this as a brush in their expressive repertoire.
5.20-6.20 PM
Main Exercise
Destruction to compound creation
Walk through this structure and write a story for its original history using the five contrasts we have identified in the form to inspire your narrative. Who inhabited this? How was it formed? Ask questions and imaginatively answer them.
6.20-6.45 PM
Reflect
Creativity "Along the Rails"
How did you use contrast indicate something that you only you have thought of?
10.00-10.20 AM Central Warmup
Mushroom Upgrade
You have built five mushrooms. Draw two transformations from a hat and apply them to your sixth mushroom.
10.20-10.35 AM
Driving Presentation
Nine Transformations
Scale, Gradient, Repetition, Extrusion, Wireframe, Inversion, Erosion, Fractalization
When you know your palette of moves, you will always have an idea of what to do next. We look at examples in design how tweaking one transformational mechanic is a reliable step into innovation.
10.35-11.35 AM
Main Exercise
Wax on, Wax off
Combine your two transformations three different ways to augment the castle structure.
11.35-11.50 AM
Reflect
Cross-discipline Application
How would you apply your transformation to a different discipline you're interested in such as engineering, website building, story writing?
4.45-5.05 PM
Central Warmup
Instruct the Instructor
Everybody tells me what to build for a house and I build it.
5.05-5.20 PM
Driving Presentation

How do multiple people make light work?
Was there a moment where somebody wasn't doing exactly what you thought? How did you resolve that friction? How could you better resolve that friction?
