FINAL PROJECT NOTES

Your visual or instantiation of the essay is due at the time of your presentation. I suggest practicing a speech where you emphasize HOW this is IN DIALOGUE with your essay (is it contradicting? taking the essay somewhere new? addressing a topic the essay failed to or struggled to address? is it showing us a new way of looking at your topic?). Please discuss how the content is being attended to by the medium (painting, sculpture, audio, video, etc.) and how the content helped you develop the shape and structure of the piece.

You are discussing form (medium, materials, and shape) to see how it is an extension of content.

Discuss, also, your process of making. How did one perception lead to another perception? How did you shape your energies, passions, and ideas?

Once you've established an understanding of the finished product (by discussing form and process), use your piece to BEGIN A CONVERSATION with your peers. Considering asking your peers questions or making the piece interactive in some way.

Have fun with this presentation and try to aim towards (including Q&A) about a 10 minute presentation. That's a lot of time, but your work should generate a conversation, critique, and exciting points. Some of you may want handouts or material that keep the conversation going.
