Welcome to Unit X...

Today was our initial meeting and briefing for our final project, UNIT X. All I knew going into the lecture theatre was that Unit X was a collaborative project across the various disciplins in the art school, so I had no idea what else to expect.

After being given all the usual mountains of paper stating what is expected of us and how we will be assessed I was suprised to find that we have been given so much freedom with this project in terms of documentation and outcome. The only requirement from everyone is a blog, the rest is totally up to us which is really exciting!

We were then split off into 4 main groups, each with a title that could maybe influence our projects... Revolt, Perform, Play and Record. I am in the Perform group, which is why I was given a blue bracelet.

The second meeting we all sat in our groups and were given a bit more insight into Unit X. Our starting theme is 175, as the Manchester School of Art is 175 years old this year. Our task for tomorrow is to "activate" these numbers and come up with three facts to share in our sub-groups tomorrow.
