4/5th Digital Media-Anderson-Anderson Assignments

You must create a rubric for assessing your final exam. 
What is the best version of this project? How do you guide people to that? How do you hold people accountable to give an honest effort in your final exam? 

We probably wont have time to present these...but this will be where you turn in all of your "shtuff" for your final exam. 


Good Luck!

You design your final exam. 
1-What do you think you have learned this year conceptually (make a list)
2-What do you think you have learned this year technically/skill wise (make a list)
3-What are some new things you did this year that you've never really dont before?
4-Is there anything you think about a little differently now than at the beginning of this year?
5-If you had to summarize our class experience in 1-2 sentences...What would you say if someone asked "What is Digital Media really like?"


6-Create your final exam- 
What do you think the final exam should be an example of?  What skills or ideas or processes do you think accurately reflect what we have done and learned and talked about this year?


What is the PRODUCT for the final exam? In your version of a final exam what would someone actually MAKE to show their knowledge from this class?


What are 3 criteria for assessment for this final exam? What are 3 categories that would decide the persons grade for this final? How do you define good/bad? Successful/Unsuccessful?  An Honest Attempt/ A BS Attempt? What qualifies someones work as a A or a D?


 

No screenshots, just your best work. 
Forced perspective. Using IN CAMERA ONLY techniques play with perspective and scale.  You can useing Photopea, PS, LR to edit colors and sharpening and the overall aesthetic, but the perspective illusion is all done in camera (not compositing with photoea/ps).
You can use the links below as a starting place but make it your own idea.
Images will be presented Thursday to the class.

4 or more images
Options - 
-Think about your own style/aesthetic
-Think about the style or aesthetic of a group you are part of


Identify/summarize the staples of that aesthetic to make the ______ starter pack using 4 or more images.
-images can be sourced from the internet (ideally from your own or friends social media or phone photos to keep it as closely related to the boycp community as possible)
-You do not have to go out and photograph anything for this, but you can. 


There is 0 tolerance for for any form of bullying, mocking, or tearing people down in this assignment. 

Screenshot of attempts of your (or more if you want) fashion/lifestyle/advertisement photo of your fashion item being warn and used out in the world. Really think about dramatic angles, emphasizing your fashion object (more focus on the item than the model), directional lighting.


Wooooo

You need a self portrait update. 
Using social media or the links below, find an example of a portrait you would like for yourself. Think of this as like an example you would give to a photographer and say "I want something like this"... Post the example here as a private comment with a short explanation of why you like this portrait, the lighting, whatever and why you think it matches you. 

Your best 3 edited and cared for product photos. Think about how to best show your entire product as well as the small details you crafted. 

You will take a bunch of product photos using the list we looked at today in the slideshow.  You want to find a set up, lighting, background that emphasizes your fashion product.  You eventually will submit 3 photos that feel like a unified/related series of images.

You did it! You finished! I am so excited to see your finished apparel/garment/thing and to see the transformation from original media into totally different fashion item!
Take a couple photos (nothing fancy) of your finished item so I can give you credit for finishing on the student selected deadline!

4th round of in progress photos. How are things going? what did you accomplish? what worked what didnt? Submit at least 2 photos of your progress and new steps We should be seeing your final steps and final moves.
Your work is due totally finished tomorrow.

3rd round of in progress photos. How are things going? what did you accomplish? what worked what didnt? Submit at least 2 photos of your progress and new steps

2nd round of in progress photos. How are things going? what did you accomplish? what worked what didnt? Submit at least 2 photos of your progress and new steps

Sketches, notes, materials, photos of materials, ideas of the garment or item you want to make. Where is your head at right now for this repurposed fashion project?

please fill this out for me!

I need everyone to fill out the very, very short survey. You will have the option of choosing yes or no. There is no pressure, but the people that want an internship I will bust my butt to get that set up for you.

Where are you at with this project? Final Project due Thursday before class.

Show me what you did today.

Using your My Stories Map, create an artwork... You can think about all the stories, one of the stories, the map itself, etc. Your work can be a single photo, series of photos, collage, drawing, painting, etc. This project is open.

Create a new map using https://www.google.com/maps/about/mymaps/ of 8 points of interest. The points of interest should be based on these 8 questions asked in peardeck: www.joinpd.com Code: xbw rps

download your map as .KML/KMZ

I was able to cut it down to 5 pages. It is totally do able if you just take the time to focus on it.

Please submit a JPEG, or PNG (not a .psd or screenshot) of your final artwork by the end of the period. As a private comment you will write your artwork justification. This is a place for you to sell/explain your thoughts and actions and how everything your did, every color, every font, every object has a very specific purpose in the understanding and meaning making of this artwork and its message. You dont have to answer all of the questions I list below but these are things to think about when writing your justification.
Questions to consider-
What is the topic your are attempting to address? What conversation are you attempting to start? Where are you trying to start this conversation (location, community, where?) and why is it specifically important to that area? How did you create the work to make it specifically tailored to that area, location or demographic? How did you make specific color choices to inform or educate the viewer about this issue? How have you composed (visually organized) your work to bring attention to the most important pieces or aspects. What kind of change do you hope happens or starts from this artwork? Why is this an important topic that needs to be discussed? Who is impacted most by this issue?

Related to your topic and more specifically what you want to say in your work...find some resource. If it is a help center, a website or number to call for help, a statistic that helps prove your point or educate people...find it and paste it here as a private comment. Please also write a short explanation of the info and reasoning behind why that link and data is so perfectly specific to your artwork.

Flip Grid Warm Up!

What are you working on? It can be a screenshot from photopea, Vectr, or another app you may be using. It could be a paper and pencil/pen sketch of ideas you want to do. It should be evident from your submission that you have been using class time appropriately. We hope to wrap this project up entirely by Thursday.

1-What is your plan? What issue do you want to do your work about?

2-What is your plan for this work? Explain as much as you can, what do you think this looks like? What moves are you making and WHY?

3-What community do you think you are making this artwork for? Where is this conversation not happening and why do you think it needs to happen in that community?

Create an account on Vectr.
-Username - i recommend your cps username
-email - personal or cps whatever you want
-password - i recommend your cps password I have no way of helping you if you forget your password.

Screenshot literally anything on one of the social media platforms that you see as "cool". Something you like, something you think looks cool, something you're interested in. Literally anything.

Show me where you are at with this project. Whatever progress you have made.

Complete this document before taking photos. Be specific as possible.

Final artwork and artist statement is due before class Monday morning.
Artwork will be placed in the google slide along with your title (the song lyric) and your artist statement where you will discuss your process, your ideation, your concept and how what you did aligned to the larger mood and tone of the song lyric.
Please email me if you need help technically or conceptually
To create your slide, open the attached and select File - Make a copy and then submit your google slide

There should be a beginning of an idea being formatted.

Submit a screenshot of where you have started with your digital collage.
Remember we are NOT illustrating the lyrics. So if the lyric is "staring at the sun" your image should not be someone staring at the sun.

Using the doc attached, please write 200-300 words (it is about a paragraph). Using your lyric as the starting point and where you go from there is up to you. Think about connections to the lyric, connections to the connections, other thoughts that come in while writing. The goal is to not stop, just keep writing without pause.

Please fill out this form for Monday the 15th. If you are under 18 years old you must have your parent or guardian fill it out. This form gives Mr. Richert permission to record some of the classes so he can use them for educational purposes with the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Listen to the song you have chosen and as a private comment only write emotion words. Do not write full sentences. just write 10+ different emotion/mood/tone words that come up while listening to the song.

Copy and paste a couple of meaningful lyrics that you will use for class Wednesday.

Step 1 INITIAL POST: In one post, share both parts: (a) Choose a pattern that resonated with you. Briefly describe it. (b) Inquire about the pattern.

Example: There is a discrepancy where the author uses 3 triangles, then ends with a circle. Why would the author switch up triangles like that toward the end?

Step 2 FIRST RESPONSE: After reading several of your peers' posts, choose 1 question to respond to. At this point, no textual evidence is necessary.

Step 3 MORE RESPONSES: Now you can respond to other posts, or reply to other people's responses -- at least 2 more times.

*Some ground rules*
-Refrain from telling someone you "disagree." Instead, uses more nuanced phrases like, "I wonder if" or "Could it be that" or "Do you think." It makes the discussion more of a discussion, less of an argument.
-Don't treat the responses like an assignment. Type to each other in the spirit of exchanging ideas!

File -> Export As -> Jpeg
Please submit your final digital collage demo. Be sure you have cared for your 3 mandatory layers (background, foreground, and subject) and any other layers or details you have added.

Submit a screenshot of your Photopea at the end of the period. I would like to see your whole screen so we can see your layers and things you have erased. Freground, background, and subject

Using the image below as your starting point. I would like you to create a narrative. What is going on in this image, who are these people, what are their names, their relationship, their story, their conversation about? In 3-4 sentences write a narrative (a fictional story) explaining what is happening here. Try to reference pieces of the artwork and be as fun and specific as possible.

Your final exam is due by 9:25

Visual Diary= a collection of observations.
As you live your life this weekend I ask that you observe the play of light and shadow in your house, your life, your surroundings. Strong composition will be the focus of our photographs as we seek to create engaging photographs. I need you all to be mindful of cluttered or distracting backgrounds.

You will use the slideshow below to add your work to. Each student has 2 slides they need to create, slide 1 - unedited and edited photos side by side, slide 2 is your edited photo and your name/title/artist statement

Submit your best edited self portrait. Have this image submitted before class Wednesday morning.

Please submit your BEST UNEDITED (raw) image here. This will be the photo we work on today editing using either photopea, lightroom, photoshop if you have it, or your phone editing software.
Please answer a couple of questions
1-How did you feel taking your self portrait? What were you thinking about while taking your photo?
2-What was the most challenging part about getting to this final photo?
3-What was the most enjoyable/rewarding/fun part of this photo assignment so far?
4-Any other open thoughts you have or comments you have about this project (or anything else) at this moment.

fill out the survey and mark as done when completed

Submit your attempts at your DRAMATIC self portraits using kitchen utensils as props or lighting modifiers

You are going to put your best and edited liquid and reflection photos all together here in this slideshow

Best 1 Edited Abstract Reflections Photo submitted as a jpeg. Do not send a screenshot. This image should be cared for and edited intentionally. Attention should be given to color correction, cropping (using traditional photo sizes like 5x7, 4x6, 8x10, or square), the straightening and leveling of horizontal and vertical lines, proper sharpening as well as over all composition should all be thought for for your final presentation of your work.

Best 1 Edited Abstract Liquid Photo submitted as a jpeg. Do not send a screenshot. This image should be cared for and edited intentionally. Attention should be given to color correction, cropping (using traditional photo sizes like 5x7, 4x6, 8x10, or square), the straightening and leveling of horizontal and vertical lines, proper sharpening as well as over all composition should all be thought for for your final presentation of your work.

We will work on experimental abstract photography. This can be super fun if you open yourself up to the process of experimentation and just trying. Dont look for the perfect image, look for the most enjoyable process. I am super excited to see what yall come up with.
For liquid think about water, oil, food coloring, bubbles, cleaning products, mini waves in water, feel free to use colored led lights if you have them, have fun with this.
For reflections think about mirrors, shiny objects like kitchen utensils, aluminum foil, screens when they are off, shiny door knobs, or shiny car parts or tools,

Submit your best edited portrait of your person here. Keep in mind the lighting, exposure, composition, and that the overall mood/tone of the portrait should reflect the person you have interviewed and some of the stuff you all talked about.

Submit your 5-10 min conversation/interview of the person you chose to focus on for this project. Remember that the goal is to get to know things you dont already know about this person, try to ask questions that allow them to tell stories as opposed to yes or now.
You can submit an audio file or a video recording here (but nobody has to be on camera, you can cover the lens or turn it to the ceiling or whatever)

You will attempt to take a portrait of your person. You could try to photograph them while they are speaking (but usually those are difficult and people look awkward mid speech). They can be posed portraits or more "documentary style" lifestyle portraits of them being "them".

Please Use the Share button to send me your final finished magazine link for grading. Magazines are due at the end of class.

Tell me about the last time you got frustrated. What caused it? What were the other things around that heightened your frustration? What really set you off? How did you respond or vent or deal with it?

At the end of class submit a screenshot of the progress happening in your magazine layout. There should be a difference between the screenshots from yesterday and today. I will see yall Monday. Dont forget to do some of the work from yesterday if you did not complete it (warm up and screenshot)

Write a HAIKU poem about how you are feeling. It could be about what your are eating, what you are feeling, what you wish you were doing, what its like not having your teacher for 3 days...whatever you are feeling.
A haiku is a poem that is 3 lines of writing.
line 1 is 5 syllables long
line 2 is 7 syllables long
line 3 is 5 syllables long
Here is an example-“A World of Dew” by Kobayashi Issa

A world of dew,
And within every dewdrop
A world of struggle.

Submit a screenshot of the work you have started in canva for your magazine layout.

Please write your article here. Think about a catching and engaging title. Your article must be between 500-600 words.
Article is due at the end of the period.

We will use this doc to start planning you article, the text, the imagery and the overall design aesthetic. Really think about something YOU want to write about. Think about something you think people should talk about but aren't.

Be as honest as you feel comfortable being while answering these questions
1-How are YOU doing? How have you been feeling? How have you been handling this different situation? How have you been emotionally? How have you been doing physically?

2-What is something about remote learning that you think is working well for you? Explain.

3-What is something (or multiple somethings) that is not working for you at all in this remote learning setting? Explain

4-What is something teachers do (dont name names) that is not working for you, is counterproductive or insensitive?

5-What do you think we should be focusing on in this remote setting? Obviously class is different, school is different, our workload and what we even do for class is different. It has all changed and shifted, what do you think we should be spending our time doing or what should projects/lessons focus on?

6-Open Response - Anything you want to say, need to say about yourself, about our class, about school in general anything.

Please submit a jpeg of your best Vivian Maier self portrait photo here.

Use the template to copy slides. 1 image per slide Each student should have 2 slides.

Please submit a jpeg of your best shoot from the hip photo here.

Over this break you will take
15+ shoot from the hip photos where the photos are not taken from eye level but instead a lower hip level (actually meant to replicate the viewing angle from old twin lens cameras).
15+ Vivian Maier inspired self portraits. Vivian Maier used reflections, windows, frames, in her self portraits. They were visual illustrations of a photographer's experiments and pushing "what can i do" with this camera and usually the only subject around was herself...she was also a little odd/strange of a person and kept to herself a lot.

1- How have you felt taking these photo challenge assignments? Do you like photography? Have they been difficult? Have they been a fun challenge? Do you look forward to these assignments or do you dread them?
2-How confident are you in your photography skills? Do you think you are a good photographer why or why not?
3-How do you feel displaying your work to the class? do you like showing your work off? Would you rather not display your work? Do you think the act of displaying your work makes you work harder and make better images? Or does it just freak you out more?

You will copy my template slide and put in your Chiaroscuro and your Color Image (1 slide per image). Be sure to title both of your images and give yourself credit as the creator.

Please export a jpeg (not a screenshot) of your best reflection photo - cared for, edited, cleaned up.

Please export a jpeg (not a screenshot) of your best window light portrait cared for, edited, cleaned up.

Submit a screenshot of 10 Chiaroscuro photos (mostly dark with a little bit of light illuminating the subject)
Submit a screenshot of 10 Color photo...color should pop us in the face. it should be what one of the most important qualities of the photo.

Final Color photo that has been edited, cared for and fully realized. Please export them as a JPEG from your editing software (phone app, lightroom, or photopea)

Whatever you were able to do send me a screenshot of photopea with your layers so we can see how you did.

After talking about and looking at the attached slideshow...you will take your big brains and creative ideas to photograph 10 or more interesting, engaging reflections photos (reflecting a main subject...not just a random reflection) and 10 or more window light portraits. Your Window Light Portraits can definitely be of you or another person (preferred) but if you do not have that available to you, you can photograph link a figuring, doll, funko...some sort of cool object.

Here are the guided notes for you to fill out. I didnt put in all of the vocab because some of it seems so similar and repetitive/confusing for our purposes. You will see the screenshot taken from the video and the following slide asks for your version of that term's definition.
I have linked the video as a youtube link but also downloaded it and saved it if you cannot access youtube.

Click the link. It will take you to the student paced pear deck for Thursday (your work day) and your assignments for Friday.
The sub will take attendance, but I have an attendance question for you for each day.
Answer the question slides in the pear deck and complete your work.

*the link should work. but if it doesnt-
Tell students to go to joinpd.com and enter fmregf .

Document Size - 500 x 500 pixels at 72dpi
Using a SANS SERIF FONT (that is not comic sans) in black
Choose a letter from your name and create an engaging composition using only that 1 letter. Resizing, rotating, cutting off pieces, how can you make an engaging play of the positive and negative space.

You will submit 3 very different/unique variations

Round 1 - create a non representational structure that explores the 3 dimensional potential of a sheet of paper.
Round 2 - create a non representational structure that explores the 3 dimensional potential of a sheet of paper that looks nothing like your round 1 submission

Step 1 INITIAL POST: In one post, share both parts: (a) Choose a pattern that resonated with you. Briefly describe it. (b) Inquire about the pattern.

Example: There is a discrepancy where the author uses 3 triangles, then ends with a circle. Why would the author switch up triangles like that toward the end?

Step 2 FIRST RESPONSE: After reading several of your peers' posts, choose 1 question to respond to. At this point, no textual evidence is necessary.

Step 3 MORE RESPONSES: Now you can respond to other posts, or reply to other people's responses -- at least 2 more times.

*Some ground rules*
-Refrain from telling someone you "disagree." Instead, uses more nuanced phrases like, "I wonder if" or "Could it be that" or "Do you think." It makes the discussion more of a discussion, less of an argument.
-Don't treat the responses like an assignment. Type to each other in the spirit of exchanging ideas!

You will use a sheet of printer plain paper,and using cuts, folds, and twists you will retransform the paper in an ABSTRACT (non representational) form. You cannot use any tape or any glue. Only 1 sheet of paper. Explore the potential of that 1 sheet of paper. What is it really capable of.
I know it was different when we did it last year, but I have also linked last years examples made by the current digital media seniors.

Here is the link for the paper folding experience reflection flipgrid.

Good morning!
Think about yesterday. No matter how bad yesterday was, there was some moment of good and happiness. Reflect on that moment, what was the best part of your day yesterday...could've been a nap, your first sip of coffee, cuddling with a pet, a solid high five from someone at home, a snack at just the right time.

For the first 5 mins of class just free write. Try to star writing for the entire 5 mins

After you have exported your final artwork as a jpeg and turned it into the assignment you will work on your justification. This is a place for you to really sell and promote your idea, the big brain you got. You should consider every thing you did as in intentional act towards your goal of creating a better school. Every decision was with purpose and here you get to explain your purpose.

Take a screenshot of the farthest you get

When you are done you will EXPORT your final artwork as a jpeg. You will not screenshot it for final submission.
File - Export - Jpeg
Attach that file here. When you are done you will work on your justification where you explain EVERYTHING YOU DID in great detail.

Please include your second screenshot. There should be some clear progress from screenshot 1

Please include your first screenshot. This one might be pretty simple but there should be the beginning of your idea or your space.

Make sure your screenshot has some sort of window or door with something on the other side/outside of your room.

please submit a screenshot of your practice rooms here.

Please submit a screenshot of the sample/practice room you have built in photopea
You should atleast have 1 wall and a floor but hopefully much more like a rug, or chair, or pictures, or a door

Somehow in your notes these things must be present

3- 2-3 Rough sketches of the space as you imagine it to be
4-Annotations or notes about what you are putting into that space
5-Brief explanation of your thought and idea behind this new space and why it serves a purpose and student need.

Use the link below to answer the flipgrid warm up question with a 1 minute video response.

After, or while watching the video of the Google Headquarters answer the following questions. You dont have to watch the entire 5 minute video, you can skip around and skim through it.

1-What are 5 things/places/installations/parts of their headquarters you would not expect to see at a corporate headquarters?
2-How does a company work, survive and thrive as one of the top companies in the world if they have all this "stuff" to distract their employees? How do they get anything done? What is the thinking behind this ideology for their corporate headquarters?
3-What do you think prevents people from abusing these amenities and getting too distracted?

What doesnt work right now in school? Think about the spaces, the rules, the seats, the desks, the passing periods, the halls, the cafeteria, the everything. Keep writing for 10 mins. Vent. get it off your chest.

1-How did you feel about your invention? Is it something you really wish could exist? Is it something just super silly? What do you think about it?
2-What was the most difficult part of this assignment?
3-Being completely honest...was this fun?
4-What invention of your peers grabbed your attention most and why?
5-How did you feel about the pictionary drawing?

LETS INVENT LIKE MAD SCIENTISTS!!!!
Step 1-Identify a problem
Step 2-Let go of what you believe to be possible. IT DOESNT MATTER
Step 3-How could you solve the problem (again no limitations)
Step 4-"make it happen" I assume 90% of you will be drawing this invention which is awesome. If you want to tackle a protoype...go on with your bad self!

Drawing-Should have at least 2 different angles or detail drawings and should include annotations of what the pieces are or do so that anyone can imagine how this would work. Make your drawings big so we can see them clearly when photographed. Use colors, markers, whatever you have to makes them feel finished.

1-How are you feeling? Whats goin on, how was your weekend, how did you handle the weekend and homework?
2-What was the most difficult part of this inventions assignment?
3-What was the most fun part of this assignment?

Here is the Netflix episode of Cas Holman the toy designer.
You will photograph your notes and submit them. Your notes can be quotes, doodles, drawings related to what you see, a sketch for a toy you think of in response to something you see or hear in the video. You should be able to fill 1-2 notebook/sketchbook/sheets of computer paper. Enjoy!

Photograph and submit your notes here as an attachment
Be prepared to show your notes and talk about your notes tomorrow in our class
You can use colors, other materials, or just a pen/pencil. Let go of what you think your notes SHOULD look like and just let them be what they will be.

You have the first 3-5 mins of class to create a GOOD MORNING flipgrid These will not be shared with everyone, only I will see these first attempts.

Think back to as far back as you can...your youngest self to answer the following questions
1-What are some of the earliest toys you remember playing with when you were younger? Describe them as best as you can.
2-What is the purpose of kids toys? Think ages 1-4 years old. Why do we give them toys and what purpose do those toys serve?
3-When was the last time you used your imagination? When was the last time you daydreamed, let your mind wander, got super creative and thought out of the box? What did you think about?
4-Do you have any unique stories about you and toys when you were younger? Like playing with the packaging box rather than the toy, or a random object around the house you got super attached to that wasnt intended to be a kids toy?

1-Describe how you felt presenting. Nervous, confident, it got better, how was that for you?
2-Tell me how the break out groups went for you and your group? Any technical troubles? how was it finding everyones slide? Did it lag?
3-Talk to me about the last thing you created-What was the last thing you made?
