p1/Find three instances of two objects in a variety of communicative relationship (i.e. one of touching, sounding, interacting). Briefly describe these situations and select one. Justify your selection, and then devise a concept that alludes to the situation of communication you have chosen. Describe this concept in detail and then create a physical model that communicates your intent in no working detail, but is representative of attention to scale, proportion, and accuracy. Make a great model -- i.e. something that does not look like the work of a cave man. You should make it totally clear what relationship you are alluding to, just from the model alone. But do not literally transcribe the relationship, otherwise you have not accomplished the exercise.

p2/Using one of your colleague's models from ps3, describe the work's attention, or lack of attention, to: 1) form (balance, proportion, idea), 2) technology (robustness, surprise, efficiency), and 3) execution (effectiveness, craft, communication).
