Gallery+&+Final+Project

link to left has more clarification You are about join a g114 tradition by exhibiting your work in a “Gallery”! Our gallery consists of your multi-media artifacts that represent a __critical__ and __creative__ reflection of your semester work by creating a ‘text’ that says shares some of your semester accomplishment and says something important you want to share with others. Whatever you choose, you must both show and tell-- not just one! These events are very energetic and fun—members of the UMB Community will join us to enjoy and ponder your work. We are available to explain/answer questions. You will analyze a few peer artifacts based on a handout we distribute.. 1. You choose whether to work on your own or in small teams… 2. You should try to use more than 1 type of media: 2-d; 3-d, electronic: audio-visual 3. Think out of the box and use your talents! · Record a humorous skit (news cast, commentator, politician) that makes a statement · Write/perform & record a poem or song · Write/act & record “advertisements” that highlight problems with framing, the GWOT, Iraq War, etc. · Create brochures, posters, etc., demonstrating ways to critically read news and other public information · Create a montage of your semester’s work that illustrates strategies and capabilities · Draw a map or cartoon of your semester’s journey · Create brochures/posters etc that share your learning you think others should be aware of… 4. OK—if your artifact is a performance, you must record it and load it onto a disk, usb or laptop before the 11th so that you bring with you to the gallery—we will be loading multiple projects onto laptops 5. Do not assume we’ll have an internet connection! Get everything downloaded in advance. 6. If you make a physical artifact, think about how you want to set it up--- freestanding on a table, hanging on a wall – so you’ll know what you need to actually make this work. 7. Write up a brief summary/introduction to your artifact so viewers are sure they grasp the message and tell us the story behind your work(why you created it) Both before and on Gallery Day I will provide poster-board, flipchart paper and other supplies. If you can, please bring markers, tape, scissors, and glue so we have enough. We also need volunteers to sign up to bring laptops.

But wait.... there's more:
