Presentation Guidelines
A good presentation must be planned.
A good presentation does NOT mean reading your statement.
A good presentation should appear natural, like you were born with it.
Tips:
Rehearse you presentation several times. You might find different ways to say something. You might find that the order of your statements should change to feel more natural. Rehearsing out loud gives you a real sense of what your ideas sound like. “Wow, I’m brilliant or gee that sounds a bit off the wall.” Better yet, perform your presentation in front of a friend (who will give you an honest opinion). They may have some ideas on how to improve your delivery.
Get enough food water and sleep. You want to feel strong and focused.
Wear something nice. You want to appear professional and feel confident.
Requirements:
Be prepared to play about 30 seconds of your music selections.
An image of your artwork/design will be projected on the white board.
Begin your presentation with a concise and direct statement describing your design concept. Use Color & Design Theory vocabulary for optimum points. Discuss your idea more in depth and how it relates to the music. Discuss how you’ve created an effective, appealing design. Discuss the media you’ve used, a little about the technique you used to create the design and give a shout-out to your sources and inspiration.
Remember, this project is about visual communications. The music is secondary to your design. Be prepared to defend your idea during the question answer period.
Presentations will take place September 10th, our last day of class.
Next week 09/03/09 your final artwork is DUE. Remember to provide me with a hard copy (a xerox or the actual artwork) and a digital copy so I can project it during your presentation. You may have time next week to scan but be warned, the computers could be very crowded! Plus your artist essays (proofed by the IDEA CENTER) are DUE.
