Karl Marxhausen (KM): Okay, we are going to do another round (pulls out various panels and distributes them to the tables.)
Student: Yea!!
Students handled the varnished panels. Lots of discussion. Engaged for two minutes. What a delight.
KM: Okay, time's up. (Students go forward) Okay, I need you attention up here. Please quiet. Give them your full attention. Okay, go ahead. (I take a seat to listen) Hold it UP so they can see it.
A student with Glasses Black Gray shirt (GBG) holds up large 22 x 15 inch watercolor sheet and shares.
"This is like a garden outside and people inside and the doors you push open. And there is gray around it. There is a person on the left with a kid." GBGKM: Okay, I have a question for you? It this somewhere in this building? Could it be?
GBG: Um, I don't know.
X: Oh! It's right out there.
Ms. Jan (MJ): Not this building.
KM: Over by the high school, across from what used to be the library. Now I have another question for you. Why do you think the people don't have eyes or shirts?
GBG: Cause they are looking out the window.
KM: Yep.
XB: Because of the shadows.
KM: Can you say that again?
XB: It's a shadowing-thing.
KM: Yes. When people are in shadow they call it A SILHOUETTE, the people are darker. The other reason, Miss Jan told me why they didn't have glasses, was I just didn't want to do them. (chuckles) All the details. Let me hold this for a minute.
GBG hands over the piece.
KM: Let's look at this design for a minute. All kinds of the walls here are drab. The bright colors are here in the middle, and that makes your eyes go right to the middle. Sometimes when you are looking at something and you think: okay, what am I really interested in? And see, I was interested in the reflections on the floor here. Thank you, sir. Have a seat.
