Week 1 Spirals


This week we'll discuss spirals in class a bit to get you into this new way of noticing details. Each week there will be a different exercise such as this one.

You'll take a look at some pictures or a website or even the world around you, and then you'll work in a group in a location in Warsaw of your choice to find a list of spirals.  Consider locations such as a coffeehouse, Burger King, or a local bar to search. 

Afterward one person from the group will post the group's observations for the class to consider.

For spirals, look at the Wiki article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiral

    1. I guess I won't verify the urinal one :). The spiraling cowlick is interesting and no one has ever mentioned spiraling pop out of the machine before.
