Assignments 1- 6 : Sketches
These short assignments are intended to introduce you to Director's interface and some basic programming, as well as the occasional conceptual conundrum. They are best considered sketches, and we will view them as a group but only critique a few.

Assignment 7 : The switch is a godsend
In this project, all of the images' movements will be controlled by programming. Well take these one-frame animations and develop an interface to link them as a group project. The project will be mastered and produced as a cross-platform CD-ROM.

Final Project : Collection
Most of us have been collectors at some point in our lives. We have collected stamps, rocks, baseball cards, coins, snapshots, shells, tattoos, music, beer bottles or something. And we collect and accumulate an even greater number of items without really thinking of them as being a collection of, say, clothes, old letters, keys to unknown doors, canned food, electronic equipment, words, habits, and gestures. When does a group of things become a collection? When does an individual item acquire great meaning and value if considered in relation to other items? During the full time of this quarter, I want you to collect something, not just anything, but something that will make you think about the nature of being a collector. The final project is to develop an interface that is appropriate to your collection. The way that a viewer navigates the collection should reflect the character of the collection.
