so finally i came up with what i feel is a fairly solid idea. and from that i had a very good critique. It by far helps having a project i guess you could say have confidence in. from the crit came a few changes to the project that im ok with. if i have more time i would like to of constructed my project with a few of the ideas i originally had such as the size and type on the floor, so the shifting of the sand would wear away the text. But with construction and completion time dwindling away i have decided to go with the new ideas presented in class. Which were making the sandbox smaller, so now im going with a 5x5 square and printing the type on say paper and laying in it in the box to than be covered with plexiglass. this way as the thesis show progress's all the information written on the floor that pertains to my idea is still intact and readable to the viewer. i have started to buy materials and will start construction this weekend. still have yet to come up with a design for the floor space. but im hoping to have it all figured out by the weekend. in conclusion it was a sigh of relief to have a beneficial critique for once..... now whens may 18th again. cause it certainly cant come fast enough.
