In class @ Granville Island

This gif is meant to show the strength of certain flavours and senses as they occurred with the foods I tried at Granville Island.

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.

A9 – Smell Notes – Luke

The lovely smell of coffee walking to the beach after everyone was topped up and ready for the wet field trip. There wasn’t much to compete with the smell of coffee until it died down/we were right on the beach.

This was a sketch of the small trail bridge over the back of Lost Lagoon; which had quite a bad smell coming from it. I remember as nice as the imagery/visuals in the area were, the smell overpowered and did not make for a nice ‘space’.

A8 – Tuning in & Windplay – Luke

Tuning In

For tuning in, I chose to focus on the sounds I hear form my apartment desk. Firstly I started by graphing types of sounds and how they compare to each other in volume and duration. I was fairly abstract which allowed me to focus on the relationships between types of sounds, rather than transcribing the ‘exact’ soundscape. Next I filled in the ‘culprits’ of the sounds, or other possible culprits, and played with volume/persistence and size of drawing.

 

Windplay

For windplay, I made a chime out of unsold jewelry from my partners old business. The chime was fun to make, and I think looked nice but did not make much noise unless the wind was strong enough to break through the solid and make the rings individuals. The drawings try to illustrate this below.

Assignment 9 – Smell Notes | Anna Finn

In-Class Exercise

Photographs of smell

These photographs were taken during our in-class site visit to the seawall and Stanley Park. I tried to take photos of places and things that either had a definite smell or things that I thought added to the overall smell of the specific place.

Top Row: wet rocks, seaweed, ocean air, crab leg

Bottom Row: Leaves on trees, rotting wood and moss, raindrops on tree branches, lichen on cedar tree.

At-home exercise

Drawing smell and memory of the Pacific Ocean at Spanish Banks beach,  using sea water
Drawing smell of leaves and memory of Stanley Park

While at home, I attempted re-visualizing the smells from the site visit of the sea wall and the park. The first painting is using sea-water from Spanish banks beach, which I thought might somehow show smell through texture. For the second photo, I added raked leaves from my lawn to the water, which didn’t give much colour but made the water a bit gritty and dirty. Watercolour paint was added to both paintings to enhance the visualization of my memory of “smell” through colour.
