Homework #13/ Impact 100 (Part 2)

I had hoped that my Impact 100 project would be a success, but so far, I only have 3 submissions. Nevertheless, It had impacted over 100 people. I assume that there are more than 100 people who read Georgette's e-mail from the Art Ed. department. I had posted the flyers all over the campus, and also posted on a bunch of facebook groups, including the TC Art Teachers group. Anyhow, here are some of the documentations of the steps I took toward making this project. The first series of images show how I came up with the design, and my process of experimenting with publishing it on social media (Facebook and Twitter).

Using Illustrator, I created different versions of visual that could attract potential. I might have received more responses if I had printed out my flyers in color. Making the digital paintings/ poster mock-ups was fun. The less than and the greater than signs are closed eyes. The next series of screenshots show where I uploaded my project, and the physical documentations around the campus (there are many more, but wasn't able to take pictures of all). I also decided to separate my Impact 100 from the jointed Impact 100/ Final Project because it wasn't as successful as I had expected.

Well, tomorrow is the last day, so I will see what will happen. Nevertheless, here is the result!

Hearing from the past New Media students was very helpful. I was motivated to use technology in my future classrooms, and felt less anxious about going into teaching in general. I really enjoyed hearing from them, and I was able to think about different ideas I might use with my students. Specifically, I am interested in working with digital painting and animation for students to explore storytelling.

There are things that computers can do that far surpasses the human hands. Accuracy is one of it, but computers also offer more chances for us to make mistakes. Therefore, it will be great for students to learn to become more experimental with their choices and decisions.
