Oct. 11 agenda

As most of you were not in class last week, we didn’t have the planned discussion. Tonight we will pick up where I left off on Oct. 4.

A few notes on your blogs:

Adrian: you’re starting to dig deeper into your subject, little by little.

Alex: nice to see additional night photography, but can you shot something else that’s not frisbee –  not that it’s a problem. Shooting other sports — a kid’s soccer game or a middle school football game — will help develop your skills and provide you more portfolio material for the blog.

Alicia — Boo! Links from your city hall post are broken. Yeah! Love the two black and white images and the stories you tell. Very nice. This is what I was hoping you’d get to all along. Now we just gotta work on not so much the writing but the stories told, how they’re organized, and so on. Very nice.

Amorae — She’s not in class, but I’ve been working with her on the side. The website looks great. There are a few videos to watch now. She is updating the world on her progress.

Chiedozie — You’ve been out of class for a few weeks. Two weeks ago I posted some research images for you — but I see you’ve done a little of it yourself with Pump TV and MediaCart. This is a start to what I’m talking about for your blog.

John — Excellent posts on Cottonwood Art Festival and Painting by food coloring. You’ve done two things here I like. One, you posted on how artists can participate in a festival like Cottonwood. Two, you provided names of artists you like, and I would guess websites if they were available. Let’s look at these …

Rebecca — Has been presenting in another class. She has a digital recorder from the ATEC Lab, so I’d like to know what you’ve found out and how you like, or dislike, it. You’ve recorded one interview. Do you have a sample we can listen to? I see you are having some sound editing issues. Talk about them.

I think I have an idea of your final projects now. We need to start working toward these. Alex and John, you are working on portfolio sites for your photography and art, respectively. Alicia, Adrian, and Rebecca are going to do podcasts on their respective subjects — immigration stories, corporate communications, and the creative process, respectively. Amorae is working on her Harry Potter videos. I still need to find out what Chiedozie is planning.

Today is Oct. 11. We have SIX classes remaining — Oct. 18 and 25, Nov. 1, 8, 15, 29. There is no class Nov. 22 due to Thanksgiving. You must get focused on your work.
