Presentations are the story of your project - from early sketches and inspiration, through prototypes and more developed ideas, presentations highlight the pieces of the process that led each student to their latest project.

Prompt

In this assignment, you will compile and create your final presentation, which will become part of your online portfolio of work, able to be shared with the public.

Instructions

Create a post in the "Portfolio" tab of your project folder. This post has two components: the visual presentation and the written project description. Each component is outlined below and should be included in the same post.

Deliverable 1: Visual Presentation

1. Slide 1: Final Photograph with Project title
2. Slide 2: Thesis Statement (1-2 sentence project statement that explains the overall idea of your project)
3. Slide 3: Precedent Image(s)
4. Slides 4-6: Concepts with initial drawings (sketch photographs storyboard)
5. Slides 7-8: Scale Model Photographs - GIFs
6. Slides 9...: Final Diagrams (Story, Use, and Technical)

1. Deliverable 2: Project Statement

Date: Session 1: October 31- December 19, 2021 (Add title)

Studio Description: In this studio, students will tell a unique story about Riyadh. They will observe the city, document it, and create a storyboard that interprets their story to be communicated through a ‘designed stop motion’.

Students will then use the stop motion animation filmmaking technique in which objects are physically manipulated in small increments between individually photographed frames so that they will appear to exhibit independent motion or change when the series of frames is played back. This method of filmmaking will be coupled with interactive elements that illustrate the students unique story of Riyadh. 

Add description :

1. Start with a catchy phrase, include the main goal of your studio
2. Explain the multiple steps students will undertake to reach the final outcome, and state what the final product is 
3. Describe the soft and hard skills students will acquire, and how they will be useful for them

في هذا الأستديو، سيقوم الطلاب بالتقاط قصة أحد الشخصيات من التاريخ الأردني أو العربي من الذين لم يسمعوا بهم قبلاً أو لم يتم التطرق لهم في كتب التاريخ في مدارسهم، سيقوم الطلاب بالتعلم عن تلك الشخصيات ومن ثم تصميم قصة مصورة تعكس وتوسع فهمهم لهذه القصص والشخصيات من خلال تقنية توقف الحركة (designed stop motion).

بعد ذلك، سيقوم الطلاب باستخدام تقنيات صناعة الأفلام والتحريك عن طريق التلاعب بالمجسمات بزيادات بسيطة في حجم كل إطار للصور بحيث تظهر وتعرض حركات مستقلة أو من خلال تغيير سلسلة الإطارات التي يتم عرضها، سيتم اقتران طريقة صناعة الأفلام هذه مع عناصر متفاعلة تعكس السرد المركب لحياة كل من هذه الشخصيات.

Description

This is an introduction to sewing through the creation of a simple pocket to hold an object of your choosing. We will be practicing the backstitch a simple hand sewing technique to create a good looking durable seam. 

Instructions

Start by selecting what will go inside of your pocket and cut a piece of fabric slightly larger than twice the size of that object. Plan and pencil in where seams and hems will be stitched. You will sew the pocket inside out then reverse it to hide the stitches. Remember to leave plenty of margin space to keep your pocket from being too small.  

Deliverables

Photograph your sewn creation and post about the experience of sewing and how you might apply this technique and fabric materials to your cyborg enhancement. 

Description 

As we approach the end of the studio, our sessions should shift towards preparation for the final presentation of our projects. The first step of this preparation is the completion of a final, refined, physical prototype of our cyborg enhancement.  

Instructions 

Using the full scale drafted drawing, along with the skills developed in earlier activities, create a final prototype. This prototype should be a development of earlier iterations, taking what you have learned from testing and critique to advance the demonstration of your concept. 

Deliverables 

Once your prototype is complete, record your work with many photographs of your cyborg enhancement. Photograph the project on and off of your body. Shoot video of your project moving and functioning. Upload all pictures and video to a blog post. 

Learning Goals    

In the building of a refined prototype, teams will be developing their Creative Confidence through the creation of a physical model that is more developed than previously thought possible through the utilization of skills developed in cardboard construction as well as LED and motor circuits. The final iteration of their conceptual exploration further develops competency in Innovation, the ability to create new solutions to a problem.   

Description

We will create montages using photo editing software (or physically by cutting and pasting) of a future world. Imagining either a utopia or dystopia and describe how we arrived at this future. 

Instructions  

Use Photoshop to generate a Fictional Future World. 

Start with a blank canvas with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 or greater. 

Place each element on a separate Photoshop layer

Use high resolutions (large pixel count) images to build your montage

Consider perspective, color, brightness, and scale

Try multiple different options to determine which best tells your narrative

Deliverables

Create a post to showcase your image montage of a future fictional world. 

Write a description to explain the world and how it became that way. 

Description

In this exercise, you will create a wearable performance piece that helps you recreate a popular meme dance in a new way.  

Instructions

Using basic prototyping materials, create a body attachment that moves.  Your performance piece should reinterpret the dance move of your choice and generate movement in a specific, intentional way.  

A few ideas to get you going: your attachment may act as an extra arm or leg, simulate another person dancing alongside you, or maybe help you combine two dance moves into one.  Tap into your inner choreographer/ youtube star and get grooving!  

Deliverables

Shoot a video / GIF and post your performance piece as a blog post with a description of how it works and what dance it enhances.
