Last class

For those of you who where not at the museum last class: there is no class this week due to thanksgiving. That means that next class on December 5 is the last class, so you will present your personal project then.

We will have a final critique for the studio project and an in-progress critique for the last written assignment.

The last written assignment is a personal/artist statement. In order for you to make use of an in progress critique, the deadline for the artist statement is extended and is now on Thursday, December 10, 5pm on the blog.

*For those of you who talked to me in advance about filling up a written assignment, this will be the deadline for it as well.

Last Class Plan:

1. Critique for last studio project: come ready to present your work. I will take pictures of it and you can take it home with you.

2. In-Progress critique for the artist statement: come ready with answers to the questions we formulated last class.

This includes personal questions that were specific to your project and you can find in your notes, and three general questions for all:

a. What is the theme for the project?

b. What elements from class can you work on with this project? what are the elements not from class that you can work on in this project?

c. How is this project related to your life?

We will examine your answers in relations to the criteria you presented by your choices at the museum and in class. A personal list of those criteria will be given to each of you, so you can use it when writing your statement.

The more you prepare the easier it will be for you to write your statement later, so I recommend you spend some time preparing for it well.

3. We will watch more of the art 21 videos, so you can have a sense about the way people talk about their work.

4. You will receive ideas for writing an artist statement and artist statements samples to take with you. This can help you a lot when you are working on your own.

5. Clean up:D

Grades will be available on December 18.

Don't hesitate to send me question/comments

Enjoy your holiday:)
