Final Portfolios due Dec 22 by 5 pm

Hi everyone!  We’ve come to the end of the semester.  I’m very proud of you!

Remember, final portfolios are due on Thursday, Dec 22 by 5 PM. No Exceptions! Please see the final portfolio assignment sheet for details.  Post to Open Lab (using category “Final Portfolio!”) If you are using Google Docs or a word doc, please post a link to Open Lab. If you send me an email, it is likely to get lost in the shuffle. So, send a link!

Remember– the final portfolio includes:

  • Unit One (revised)  
  • Unit Two
  • Unit Three including Artist Statement  (Revise either Unit Two or Unit Three) 
  • Final Reflection (see assignment sheet)

As per the syllabus, your final grade is broken down in the following way:

  • Final portfolio Essay 1 20%
  • Final portfolio Essay 2 20%
  • Final Portfolio Essay 3 20%
  • Final Reflection (in final portfolio) 10%
  • (this means your final portfolio is worth 70% of your grade) 
  • Homework/ participation 30%

Homework for Tuesday

Hello everyone! For Tuesday, please post a draft of your Final Reflection . I describe it in more detail below! Please also post any questions you might have about the final portfolio to the Open Lab.

UPDATE: I did get covid. I feel much better, but am still testing positive, so I can’t come back to campus, which means we will be meeting tomorrow, at our regular class time on Zoom. Please check your emails and text messages for the Zoom link. I can’t post it here because of Zoom bombers! 

Some people were having trouble with this link. You can go to it directly on youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXIycNafOzU&t=1s

Here are some examples from past semesters (used with student permission, of course!)
