Final Project

Final Artist Statment

Making my final archive was a bit of a challenge for me. I didn’t want to create a new theme for my project since all I have been focusing on was imagination. The most difficult part was trying not to have my final critical creative project to be exactly like my multimedia essay. I attempted to use windows movie maker, but it got too confusing for me so instead I used power point. I decided to use picknik, to make some of my pictures more interesting and creative. My project is supposed to assembled where I do most of my talking in the begging of my presentation followed by Albert Einstein quotes, and a couple of sentences here and there about imagination. Since I already did a project on imagination I was stuck for a while on how to portray imagination in another way. I resolved this problem by taking the approach of how Esculea Vieau indirectly promotes imagination. I have learned a ton from this experience and it actually feels weird not going to Vieau this week. There were a couple of students who I miss torturing the most. They both happen to be trouble makers, but I realized its how you approach them. I told both of them that if they do their work I would buy them both a power aid, and ever since then they only want me to be their tutor and never give me anymore problems. The teachers and facility were very nice and welcoming just like the whole student body. When watching the kids play in the gym, they never judged anyone or told someone they couldn’t play with them. All of them were very inviting and loved taking pictures of themselves and their friends. I liked giving my camera to the kids because I wanted to get a feel for how they see their gym, the sport they were playing. Im very happy with my experience at Vieau and would like to continue to volunteer at the school.
