Miguel's proposal
So I really liked the link that you sent me on Blogger about Flickr and I was thinking of doing something like that. Even though it won't be writing necessarily, it will be more reading and comprehending what is on the reading, that will make my images relevant. I'm also thinking about making some letters to some of the characters or expressing my thoughts on how The Miracle Game characters develop over time but also maybe incorporating some of Havel's essay.
When it comes to grading, I think that my images can be graded on the bases of me portraying what is going on in the book or in Havel's book. The reason I think I should be graded on that is because that is what my intent is but obviously art is something different and can also be graded in the sense that is it well done and what the viewer sees in the art. Therefore, maybe a combination of the image and what they depict and how well they are done.
When it comes to the letters I think that they will be more like a conversation between the character and myself so I might have questions that I would like to ask to the character but at the same time not getting an answer and if I find out the answer to my question I will comment on it on the next letter that I write to the character. I also want to make it more like a journal that will help me keep track of what is going on in the stories that we read. I would say maybe a more standard grading can apply to this. So maybe what I write to them should be graded but also since it might have some questions that I'll be asking then I shouldn't be something so harsh. More like how you said in class that shows that I understand what is going on in either The Miracle Game or in Havel but that also represents my "A game." In the letters I might want to do something with Art to if I keep a journal.

I think these are both excellent ideas, probably worthy of independent projects. If you were to provide illustrations for Havel in the spirit of Josef Lada, that would be a fantastic accomplishments. But I also like the idea of writing letters to characters, with sketches.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to suggest that you start with both ideas, but feel free to focus just on one after you get a better sense of the time involved, and what really motivates you.
I appreciate the directness of your suggestions for evaluation and I will follow them.
