Our 3rd project in my DIVA 200 course is entitled "hyperlocal narrative, mapping and mobility". we are to team up [or not, in my case- i'm still kinda feeling things out as a newcomer, and i don't want to disturb the relationships that have already been built between my peers] and create a 3 minute audio file that CRITICALLY explores this notion, along with those of community and site, within the confines of Granville Isle and Emily Carr.
the only problem? i have NO IDEA WHERE TO START.
like i think i understand the premise of the assignment, but to be honest, there isn't much i can gather from it. i don't know what to explore critically, or how to do it, when i have no connection to anything here in vancouver, much less anything at school. i'm like this phantom trailing along my daily tasks, still very much the outsider looking in, and i have no idea where to put my foot down to steady myself. clearly, an email to ms webster is in order, if i'm ever going to make sense of this assignment. good thing tuesday's a free day for me until the afternoon... might be able to try something out then.
in other news, i finished my ILUS 200 assignment, and dare i say that i'm completely pleased with the results. especially since i've never used watercolors before. i'll be posting those up in a little bit- just gotta find my camera. my ILUS 201 project still has some major kinks to work out, with may require a change in tactics and/or software. if i feel like pulling an all-nighter, we'll see how that one goes.
and finally, i've been enjoying my role as an intern for *glisten)HIVE so far. there's a TON of websites and organizations that can be used for the project, and i've only been able to dig out a few good gems that Julie can use. i'm sure more will come though- just gotta keep an eye out to where they may be. of course, if you're reading this and want to contribute, you can check out the *glisten)HIVE blog link in my blogroll, as well as send any Twitter responses to me [@mal22] or to Julie [@glisten_HIVE] for us to collect.

I was pretty stumped about this project too. But remember, it can be totally fictional. If you can't find a real connection or history with Granville Island, just make one up :)
i miss granville island massively.
then come visit meee! cuz i'm still pissed that i left nassau before you even got there *pouts*
thank the gods for that, haha. i may end up going that route if my current idea falls flat.
