(GCE Field Experience at Grossinger Cadillac) What is the energy cost of the different energy sources to heat/cool the same environment ? Why? For the fuel course, the purpose of this action project is to present a case study that demonstrates your understanding of the variables to consider to heat/cool an environment, and your ability to defend Read More…

(GCE Field Experience Museum of Science and Industry) How do we communicate the patterns & historical trajectory of energy producing natural resources? why? For the fuel course, the purpose of this action project is to create a presentation that demonstrates the pattern & trajectory of energy producing natural resources. how?

  (GCE Field Experience at CBS TV Station in Chicago) What is the purpose of a time-telling device and how does it reveal light/sound through culture? why? For the light and sound course, the purpose of this Action Project is to build a prototype of a time-telling device and explain its principles & purpose in a Read More…

As our last project for Light and Sound, we created designs for our very own time telling device. We then wrote a small paper about the designs and why we did it. Below are my results and the design I made. I wanted to stick to a simple, portable design, so I came up with Read More…

For our last action project, we created art items with our printed fabric. I loved being abole to create art out of art. I made a sculpture/pillow. Below is my artist’s statement and a couple images.   Zoe Friedland Chicago in my Dreams Fabric 2 ft. by 1 ft. My piece is an image of Read More…

Introduction For my Action 4 project in A Nation’s Argument, I studied dialectics as a method of argument first proposed by Hegel in 1816′s “The Science of Logic.” In dialectics, one side of an issue forms a thesis as resolution. The opposition develops an antithesis which negates or overturns the thesis. Out of this friction, Read More…

For this project, we staged a trial to decide if Germany had the right to colonize in Africa. I, along with GL, played the part of Liberia, a country made up of freed American slaves. Below is our argument for the trial. In the end, the judges decided to vote in favor of the African Read More…

For the second season of Hurricane Season course, we created artistic piece that illustrates a sharp connections between systems of oppression; in other words environmental problems. We had choice of how our artistic piece was going to look like; the three were conceptual, visual and poetic map or web. I chose to do a poem Read More…
