When we all signed our roll sheet for class Jimmy noticed that today's date was a binary number because it's digits only consisted of 1's and 0's. The date was 11-10-10 or 111010 in binary. Of course by noticing this, it sparked up a group discussion and problem solving exercise that Jimmy came up with. He gave us the binary equivalents for the numbers 1through 7 and had us as a group try and figure out the next 3 binary numbers based on the pattern(s) of the previous seven. After about half an hour of group discussion and problem solving, a majority of the class was convinced that they had found the correct next 3 binaries, but I was not convinced. The group had not sold their idea to me, which is a strategy worth learning and utilizing in the world of design. Anyways, I decided to do some research and these are the correct binaries for numbers 1 through 10:
The remainder of the class was spent sharing the ten images with one tag line for those who did not have them in the previous class session. I presented my set of images and my tag line was "beauty." The picture posted above was by far my strongest image in the set of 10 since it can be read many different ways by the viewer even with the tag line. Because of this, Jimmy decided to keep it to use as an example. How do you read this image? I also purposely chose the image to poke fun at the fact that everyone in the class is working on their 50 apple renderings, which from some light laughter when I showed the image to the class I think they got the inside joke.
