Guidelines for Research project and multi media presentation
Each student will deliver a 8 - 10 minute multi media research presentation to the class. The purpose of the assignement is to educate the class of the contributions the artist/designer has made, and puts each student in the role of educator.
The lectures will include strong visuals and informative facts about the artist/designer Following there will will be a short Q&A with the class as a whole.
Prior to student presentations, the digital file needs to be sent to me electronically one day prior to the student presentation.
Presentation Checklist > 8 items:
