process of making project

Written Portion (this part is submitted to me under “Assignments”; classmates will not see it) In a 300-500 word written response, you must do ALL of the following:

1. Describe in detail your process of making your project 2. Discuss the challenges or most difficult aspects of creating your work 3. Explain what the project means to you; why is it important? 4. Identify what tips you would recommend to others who would like to work in the same medium

Step 3: Share It with the Class (this part is submitted to the Creative Project Showcase on the Discussion Board. Everyone in the class will be able to view it) There are several formats to choose from in order to share your creative project with the class. I will post a link to the Discussion Board called “Creative Project Showcase” where you will upload your work. Keep in mind that your project should be easily accessible for all viewers. You may choose from the following formats, or another format if you have one in mind – just let me know!

• Presentation software, such as PowerPoint or Google Slides, to share photos or images of your project. They should be numerous, high quality, high resolution images that allow the viewer to see the various aspects, angles, colors, textures, etc. and truly appreciate the effort that went into your project. This method can work for written works as well as for photography or other kinds of images. There is no minimum or maximum number of slides or images.

• Video or audio of your performance: for musical or dramatic performances, or if you choose to read your own poetry or other creative writing out loud, make a short video (no more than 5 minutes) of you

performing. (Keep in mind the importance of audio quality, as well, in order to be understandable to listeners.) Post the media file to YouTube or Vimeo, accessible to the public, and provide the class with the link.

• Since the written portion (see above) is only submitted to me, it’s up to you to decide what, if any, written description you might share with the class in the Creative Project Showcase. Some people prefer to post a video or short story they wrote without any explanation. Others include a version of the written portion that is cut down or edited specifically for other students. And some just copy and paste their written portion into the same project that they share. It’s completely up to you – just consider what would make sense and give the best impression to your audience (the rest of the class).

• Note: Please make sure your project is open to view and not blocked or restricted, such as with Google drive or private YouTube accounts!

• Please do not give a bunch of different links or a long list of separate files. Keep your audience in mind. You need to do the work in advance to properly size the photos and present them in a manner that people can view without having to do all the work of opening each individual file. Check all links and any tech that could possibly go awry before publishing your work online.

Evaluation *Be sure to submit your written portion to Assignments on Canvas by the due date. This is necessary in order for me to give you a grade. **To share your project with others, you will need to upload it separately to the discussion board on Canvas. Look for the discussion forum titled “Creative Project Showcase.” The project itself 50% (originality, quality and effort, follows guidelines) The written portion 25% Sharing it successfully with the class 25% —————
