I just went through some of the lessons that I had
from coursework. A classmate (B.Phillips) presented a
lesson based on the work of Maya Lin that involved
writing text and then making rubbings of nature over
the composition.
I thought this might have some potential for
intergrating computer tech. At the very least - Maya
Lin is a great example of being able to combine crisp,
stark elements with the natural world.
