Inspiration from the concept of weather can be diverse, from the trace of weather on the landscape, to the photographic documentation of the temporal, to the prognastication technology, to the forecast format.
Consider a statistical , a atmospheric/ psychological, diagramatical, or documentary perspective. Examples might include: an almanac, weather on your date of birth, recording the weather for 10 days, a singular tree documented through various weather, weather affecting the city, weather changing the pyschological feeling in one location, radar images, storm tracking etc.
The first step in this project is to gather inspiration. With the ten zip- lock bags you have been given, collect inspirational samples. May include sketches, a drawing a day of a particular tree, photos, newspaper clippings, charts, a weathered stone, articles, leaves, recording tide marks, etc. Try and stretch out your normal mode of brainstorming. Remember, the final artwork must be a drawing- it is up to you to decide the format, location, materials, to best express your idea.
