Final Presentation Guidelines

We will begin final presentations on WEDNESDAY May 4th—our final exam time is Tuesday May 10th, 6:30-9:30 pm. Those who have other exams during our exam time will be expected to present on May 4th. No exceptions—you must present to receive credit.


CRITERIA:
-Format: Microsoft PowerPoint slide presentation

-What needs to be included?:
-Your revised artist statement. You will also turn in a hard copy to me when you present. No emails! (20 points)
-3 Artist Influences. Include images of their work and talk about why they are relevant to you. (20 points)
-Baltimore Artist Project. See the project sheet for all criteria. If you met with your artist, hopefully you have documentation. Include images of their work, facts about them, why you chose them, anything you feel the need to share. Remember that you should have been communicating with this person throughout the entire semester. Feel free to share parts of their artist statement, any shows they’ve been in, etc. Also include any failed attempts and explain why it didn’t work out. Again, see the sheet. (60 points)
-Daily Chronicles Project. Images of development/progress, include images of any “failed” attempts or adjustments you made throughout the semester. (50 points)
-If you’re in Advanced 2-4, include any work you did in previous semesters that lead you to where you are with your work currently.
-Everyone must include images of ALL work completed/in progress/incomplete this semester. Include any “failures”, sketches, notes, diagrams, studies, etc. that lead to final pieces, then of course include images of “completed” pieces. I’m going to go over image formatting so that you can re-format your image sizes and not have to turn in such a large presentation that it crashes my computer. We’ll also be going over how to document your work (taking digital photos, scanning, etc). (50 points)
-Include any thoughts about where you think the direction of your work will be heading next.
Total: 200 points

Your presentation should last no more than 15 minutes, so pace yourself. You’ve got a lot of info to share—be concise, edit yourself, practice.

I don’t want to see any stock backgrounds, slide transitions, music/sound additions, etc. Remember that this presentation represents you as an artist—keep it neat and professional, and again, edit yourself. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
