Requirements: Digital Student Portfolios of semester work

1. Each student will compile a digital portfolio of their semester's worth of work created in SA302.
2. Submit electronically into a folder with your name, and compile on the prepared class flash drive. 
3. All work must be completed and loaded onto the flash drive that will be submitted during our Final Exam Block period on 
Thursday, May 4th  > 12:30 - 2:30 pm 

Your Digital Class Portfolio should include the following:
Experiments #1 through #9
For each your digital files should include:
  1. Thorough class notes from the introduction I did on each project; include all video notes and information on artists
  2. Detail the images of the evolution of each of your projects   
  3. Images of the completed project (stills for certain and video if applicable)
  4. All research leading up the completed project. For example I am a student and Experiment #5 Media Spills and Fallen Paintings, I may have been impacted by stained glass windows found in Chartes Cathedral in Tours, France as well as the work of Henri Matisse Jazz Mural, thus, I have images of both of those included. All references need to include all bibliographic information
  5. Your complete project statement with works cited page
  6. Your PPT of the overall experiment
  7. Research Paper # 1 + # 2 > evidence of your research and inclusion of your bibliographical sources 
  8. All of your papers and research completed outside the parameters of the experiments

Prepared Notes: TEXT: To Draw is to be Human


Experiment #9 > Poetic Marks & Repetitive Actions > Self directed projects, all your research, concept drawings, images of evolution and your final project.  You will not have the opportunity to receive feed back from your colleagues for this particular experiment. In your project statement you need to critique yourself thoroughly explaining the connections you hope your audience will understand.

Other Class Notes & Research completed outside the perimeters of each experiment.  This would include Research Paper #1 and Research Paper #2

All of the above information should be thoroughly represented in your Sketchbooks as your on-going think tank of the semester's worth of work. Should you have more than one sketchbook, you need to hand that too. :)
