STARTER: Listen to Gabe read his writing for his personal philosophy project last year, in combination with his painting shown to the left and contemplate the beautiful work represented by his ideas and artwork!





TODAY'S GOAL: Hone your Personal Philosophy project idea(s). You must complete the proposal by Wednesday AND have your visual piece IDEA  critiqued by a classmate before you begin implementing it.  Follow these steps today...

Step 1:  Review the project proposal guidelines (last page of this document!)

Step 2:  Continue to brainstorm ideas IF needed (see yesterday's brainstorm free-for-all directions)
  • Once you have a few ideas for your visual piece or your philosophy statement idea crafted, run them by a friend and get feedback on which idea they think is most authentic to you and most inspiring/cool.

Step 3: Begin working on  your project proposal
  • Feel free to emphasize the visual OR written piece but be sure that whatever you do is going to be BEAUTIFUL work that you are proud of and that inspires the audience to think more deeply about their own personal philosophy on life!

Step 4: CRITIQUE- Find a group of 3-4 students and on the whiteboard, write your critique group members' names.  Then, write which day each person will get their project idea critiqued (either today or tomorrow).  THEN, get to critiquing using these critique guidelines:
CRITIQUE GUIDELINES
1. Get into groups of 3-4 
2. Explain your project to the critiquers
3. As a group, discuss the following four prompts:
  • What is the main idea/message the artist seems to be trying to express in the piece? 
  • How does it connect to class concepts/texts? 
  • What's the best thing about this project?
  • What feedback does your group have for refinement? (How could it be more beautiful? How could it better represent the idea(s) you're trying to express? Does it need to be tied more clearly to one of the texts we read/watched, etc...?  Does it represent this person's authentic self?)

Step 5:  Refine your proposal, Submit, Conference with Ashley!
  • On the top of your proposal, write the  main ideas your group suggested for refinement
  • Complete your proposal and EMAIL it to Ashley
  • Sign up for a conference with Ashley once you have submitted your proposal to go through your ideas with her and make sure you're good to go!

Step 6: Begin Creating your BEAUTIFUL project!!
