Thesis: Portfolios should be submitted later than the 1 p.m. deadline originally stated

Evidence:

I           the printmaking studio will be closed on Monday, Memorial Day
II           the last studio assignment given was a printmaking assignment (not a drawing or collage assignment) and requires the use of the printmaking facilities specifically.
III          the faculty won’t be able to evaluate the portfolios Wednesday afternoon anyway due to studio clean up and exhibition installation.

Conclusion: Portfolios should be submitted later than the 1 p.m. deadline originally stated

The original submission deadline has been changed from Weds. at 1 p.m. to Thursday at 7 a.m.

Please note, this will be a committed, thoughtful critique taking most of the day.  As a demonstration of your upper-division capacity for critical thinking about visual work and the concepts they imply, students will be expected to take the lead on these discussions.  Remember our pedagogy centers on your thinking and learning, on your informed opinions, and weaning folks from the desire for feedback from authority figures.

Wednesday
9 a.m.  Continue critiques and/or begin installing the final program exhibit

1 p.m.:    Submit final portfolios in your studio space for review by your evaluating faculty, including:
Final self-evaluation (doesn’t need to be on ‘the form’).

  • Photo-intaglio formal composite print (one impression only)
  • 5 Chine colles

PS – it’s helpful if you label your portfolios contents to assure that you get full credit for your work.  In some cases, it may be difficult for us to discern which work was submitted in response to which assignment.
