Notes to Students

1. EDIT any post that shows a FACE with a NAME! (Delete the name.)

2. Check your blogs to make certain that your photos load: no photo, no credit! Images should be sized for the web @ 72 ppi and with dimensions about 'something by 12 inches'.

3. Make sure your post includes a high quality photo that YOU HAVE TAKEN! Part of this project is demonstrating what you have learned about TECHNIQUE-DESIGN-MEANING-INNOVATION in photography.

4. Your posts must be correctly labeled: Day 1 was Friday, May 3. Friday, May 10 is Day 6.



-------------------------------------------------

YOUR FIRST REFLECTION ABOUT YOUR PROJECT IS DUE!  (Friday, May 10)

Post a paragraph on your blog that describes how it's going for you: How is your thinking, feeling, and outlook being affected?

The title of your post should be Week 1 Reflection.

-------------------------------------------------



As we enter Week 2, do you need to refresh and refocus?  If so, read our original list of questions, this time in list form:

• How can we use photography to explore the effects of recognizing things for which each of us is grateful? 
• Can making art significantly affect our outlook and view of the world? 
• Brain research shows that compassion and gratitude activate creativity (Christine Carter, Learning and the Brain 2013):  Can we use our art form to develop creativity through gratitude?

Week 4 - Final Reflection INSTRUCTIONS

Students,

Here are your instructions for your final reflection.  Be sure to read them carefully and completely!

Write about ALL of the following:

1. Brain research shows that being grateful builds creativity.  In the 20:One Grateful project did you find that to be true?  What is your evidence?  Be specific!  (Write about your experience and cite specific examples in your photos, thinking, and/or approach to taking photographs.

2. What was the most difficult part of this project?  What was the most valuable?  Would you recommend this project to other students?  Regardless of how you respond, provide EVIDENCE for each response (describe why or how).

3. If you were to design a similar 20-day photo project, instead of a project on being grateful, what would the theme be and why?

 

Grading:

*There are five questions that require a response.  Each response requires ‘why’ or ‘how’ as evidence.

Art 100 – All responses, with depth of thought and quality examples evident.

WOW! – All responses with evidence

Accomplished – All responses with some evidence

Emerging – Responses with some evidence

Novice – Responses
