Visual Thinking links computational environments with introductory drawing

8	Tile Exercise Specificity Begin by looking carefully at a specific tile design. Deconstruction Sketch this design by noting its most basic component elements and the shape of the replication of those basic elements in tile space. Talk about it. Reconstruction Reconstruct our view of the original tile design and compare the two. Generalization Generalize our models to draw and place the components in order to generate a suite of images that explore and extend the themes we see in the original tile pattern. Emergence Introduce features in to the design elements to encourage the emergence secondary patterns in the final composite design. Add weirdness. Language Talk tile (Lévi-Strauss sense) .

21	Tile Exercise Specificity Begin by looking carefully at a specific tile design. Deconstruction Sketch this design by noting its most basic component elements and the shape of the replication of those basic elements in tile space. Take about it. Reconstruction Reconstruct our view of the original tile design and compare the two. Generalization Generalize our models to draw and place the components in order to generate a suite of images that explore and extend the themes we see in the original tile pattern. Emergence Introduce features in to the design elements to encourage the emergence secondary patterns in the final composite design. Add weirdness. Language Speak tile.

33	Painting Exercise Specificity Begin by looking carefully at a specific painting. Deconstruction Sketch this design by noting its most basic component elements and the shape of the replication of those basic elements in tile space. Take about it. Reconstruction Reconstruct your view of the original tile design and compare the two. Generalization Generalize our models to draw and place the components in order to generate a suite of images that explore and extend the themes you see in the original painting. “Emergence” Introduce features in to the design elements to encourage the emergence of secondary patterns in the final composite design. Add weirdness. Language Speak your painting.

47	Machine Exercise Specificity Begin by looking (could be using your mind’s eye) carefully at a specific “machine”. Deconstruction Sketch this design by noting its most basic component elements and the shape of the replication of those basic elements in tile space. Reconstruction Reconstruct your view of the original machine. Generalization Generalize your models to draw and place the components in order to generate a suite of images that explore and extend the ideas you see in the original machine. “Emergence” Introduce features in to the design elements to encourage the emergence of secondary patterns in the final composite design. Add weirdness. Language Speak machine.
