ASSIGNMENT ONE - LEARNING TO LOVE YOU MORE

Go to http://www.learningtoloveyoumore.com.

Look over the assignments. Spend some time looking at ALL the assignment, there are some hidden gems.

Choose three, complete them, and document the results using your digital camera. Before you begin photographing, make sure your camera is set to make exposures at the highest resolution possible

Bring all the images you made for this assignment to class on 1/29. In addition to your images, please being any cords needed to connect your digital camera to the computer

Do Not alter or adjust your images before we meet in lab. Instead, spend your time and effort on photographing! Remember to bring everything you need to get your images off your memory card/camera and onto the computer.

P.S. this one is really amazing.

More about LTLYM:
Learning to Love You More is both a web site and series of non-web presentations comprised of work made by the general public in response to assignments given by artists Miranda July and Harrell Fletcher. Yuri Ono designed and managed the web site.
  
Participants accepted an assignment, completed it by following the simple but specific instructions, sent in the required report (photograph, text, video, etc), and their work got posted on-line. Like a recipe, meditation practice, or familiar song, the prescriptive nature of these assignments was intended to guide people towards their own experience.   
Since Learning To Love You More was also an ever-changing series of exhibitions, screenings and radio broadcasts presented all over the world, participant's documentation was also their submission for possible inclusion in one of these presentations. Presentations have taken place at venues that include The Whitney Museum in NYC, Rhodes College in Memphis, TN, Aurora Picture Show in Houston, TX, The Seattle Art Museum in Seattle, WA, the Wattis Institute in San Francisco CA, among others.   
From 2002 to its close in 2009, over 8000 people participated in the project.
