Journal 1: Power Point

Reflecting on the Process: Albright Knox Presentation

  • Why did I choose the subject? I chose to create my presentation based on Mark Bradford because I was immediately drawn to his work. I saw in his work a message that I believe many people can relate to--that meaning is layered, it is not one-dimensional.

  • What are the new things I learned or discovered? I learned that presentations don't have to be wordy and full of text, in fact, I prefer it this way. What's the point of having a presentation if there's no one to present the information?

  • What I liked/disliked about the project? I like the idea that a PowerPoint presentation can really support the knowledge you already have on a particular topic. I've come to the conclusion with this project that for me, this is the best way to use this tool, rather than it dictating the message you are attempting to communicate.

  • How did I apply the elements and principles of design into my project? I think that while using templates can enhance the visual aspect of your presentation, I find that it sometimes distracts from what is important. In this case, I wanted to let the artist's work stand out.

  • What are your thoughts about the finished project? The lesson plan was way more time consuming and difficult for me than the presentation...Despite how much the lesson plan is worth, I feel like I needed a little more guidance with it.
