Concentration 3: __**Ambition**__: Due at the beginning of class, Thursday, April 7th.

In the final quarter you will be focusing primarily of making sure everything gets done. This quarter may be your last chance to really push your understannding of your project. You now know what you are doing and have developed some expertise in materials, techniques, and ideas. What are you attempting that is more ambitious than anything else you have completed thus far? Is it more intricate, larger scale, more images, deeper idea, etc. How have you pushed your project beyond its current state?

Concentration 2: __**Evolution**__: Due at the end of class, Friday, March 4th.

How has your project evolved from its beginning stages? What did you change deliberately? What has changed naturally as you got a better understanding of what you are trying to accomplish?

Concentration 1: __**Generation**__: Due at the end of class, Friday, February 11th.

Generating something is different from creating it out of thin air. It implies that something needs to be built up over time in order to reach a certain level. How have you gone about generating this project ? What has proved challenging about your materials/ idea/ sources that you had not anticipated? What have you learned that you will take with you into the second Quarter?

Digital Project: Due at the end of class, Friday, February 11th.

What aspects of working in Photoshop did you find helpful while working on these pieces? What do you like more about working with physical materials? How can you make use of the program in designing your conentration?

Embracing Chaos: Due before class, Thursday, December 9th.

How would you describe the purpose of this project? What could you take from it to help you with future work? How would you describe what happened on your individual piece throughout the stages, and what enabled you to bring it all together in the end?

3 Layers of Space: Due before class, Tuesday, November 30th.

How would you describe the strategy we used for this project? What did it enable you to accomplish in your work that you would not have been able to do without this structure? What is simple, and what is complex? I want an in depth response to how the idea of strategy is essential to executing a successful concentration. What strategies could you come up with and what could they enable you to accomplish?

Dramatic Self Portrait: Due November 9th

For this project I want you to think about what your piece could mean. If light was a metaphor, what would it symbolize in your image? How does your expression interact with this meaning? What could this say about you or an imaginary persona you are creating in this work? What did you bring, (not necessarily physically), to the photoshoot to help create this one image that was far above any other. IMPORTANT**...What lessons are important for you to take from this project into the concentration process?

Object Project

For Project 2 I want you to write a statment about your piece on your page. Even though the project started with a small idea, or almost no idea at all, how has it evolved? What are you presenting your object as that it is not? Ideas in art are always connected to how it has been made. How did the media you chose and the way you worked contribute to the idea? If this were the start of a concentration how would you continue it?

Statement Post due: Friday October 8th before class.
