Assignment 9:
I went for dinner for a friend’s birthday to the Stable House! It was the perfect dinner to use for this assignment. All of the dishes we shared were truly an experience in my mouth. I tried to use these gifs to highlight the range of experiences as they happened with three dishes.

Samantha Miller – A9 – Smell Notes
Assignment 9:
Documented the smell notes of my apartment and the outside corridor and balcony! Each smell is colour coded. The tightness of lines represents potency, so the lines that radiate with more spread are lighter smells. The line’s distance from the point represents how far the smell travels. If it’s a dotted line – it’s very pleasant, if it’s solid – it’s pleasant, if it’s dashed – it’s unpleasant.

Reflection:
I found this to be a fascinating and freeing exercise. Once you release the pressure to succeed at a blind drawing and you realize it is impossible to get it perfectly accurate, you start to really focus on form and feeling instead of accuracy. It became even more apparent once I tried to draw the object without the blindfold. It was harder to focus on simple forms and textures when I tried harder to make them look accurate. With the blindfold, it didn’t matter if the shapes I felt were in the right spot, but more that the gestures I made with the pen felt proportionate to the scale in my hand and to other shapes I had just drawn. This exercise reminded me that loose drawings that emphasize basic forms, gestures, movement, and weight are often just as effective as realistic drawings in conveying an object.
