Adrienne Wilber

 

Adrienne Wilber is a sophomore from Sitka, Alaska.  In high school she took sculpture and ceramics classes at the University of Alaska.   This term, she is taking Intro to Sculpture, and she is taking Field Drawing in the spring.  Adrienne is considering majoring in geology.

For this project, students are asked to “make a gerund.”
In the words of the assignment: “Most objects have a particular sense, peculiar to their construction. A building can be inviting, frightening, a table can be uplifting, supporting, reassuring ... continue looking at how things are put together, what are the key compositional elements that make them what they are? What makes a composition work? How is it when a structure speaks successfully? What is it for an object to emote clearly?”

Adrienne’s particular gerund will be revealed in Part 6 -- see if you can guess what is is!
