Week of December 12-16 | Artist Statements and Planning for Exhibitions of Learning

Last week, everyone has rounded out Creation Phase within their discipline.  We are done with creation processes in class time.  If you choose to revise your project on your own time, then setup times within your creation advisor's office hours after school.  You are welcome to revise your works of art, dances, and engineered designs on your own time.  We start the next step in the creative process, Presentation.  We prepare to present through Artist Statements to communicate artistic intent and vision.  

Announcements:
  • Please take Destiny's survey - Please consider doing this on your own time.
  • Creation Advisors will share your End Product Rubric grades for IDEAS Block
  • Next week we will focus on Presentation and proper preparation.  We will also conduct presentation workshops for everyone to prepare a high quality presentation.  Even if you struggled during your creation process, you can exhibit your learning 
  • When we return from Winter Break, we will spend that week preparing for Exhibitions through Practice Presentations.  When you are home or around relatives during Winter Break, try practicing your presentation in front of them.
