I thought her presentation was extremely interesting.

• At first I struggled to understand the concepts but as I began to draw I improved upon my skills.
• I liked the detail of the activity
  • not normal basic sketched but the detail put into every aspect of the butterfly
  • in addition, I enjoyed learning new shading techniques that adds great detail to the drawings
  • in the future, I can use the techniques learned to help with the sketches that I am going to make for my project
  • I believe detail to be one of the most important aspects of sketching, and her seminar helped a lot with that

From the peer revision

• My project has the idea in place but there are the fine details that need to be worked out
• people liked my prezi presentation
  • need to add more though
  • need to add the recreational section
• working on the website
  • adding the 3 components of the project.
    • recreational
    • scientific
    • artistic
• still thinking of the final explanation for recreational
• students suggested sketches
  • I am going to sketch the models
    • recreational model
    • scientific models

 

• I thought the play was well designed and executed.
  • They used the resources that they had effectively and the play was well written.
• I thought Henrietta levitt was an extremely intriguing character
  • Denied Harvard to pursue an astronomical career
    • Not many woman of the tie would deny an acceptance to Harvard to pursue a career that is not guaranteed to follow through.
      • Even when she arrived she was not perceived as a useful component of the team.
        •  They wanted her to be a computer instead of exploring the universe through a telescope.
        • She faces the adversity and makes a great discovery
          • Shows preserving and self discipline
            • Great representation of defining the odds
              • Leads to a great breakthrough of the mapping of stars
              • led the way in looking at the universe in a new and improved perspective
      • 

• I found the presentation with Sierra Dawson to be extremely interesting
  • At first I was unsure where the presentation was going but by the end I was engaged in the topics
• I especially enjoyed the second activity
  • I am very into advertising and pitching ideas
    • I like the idea of trying to promote products in a way that consumers catch on
      • I thought it was cool seeing everyones different approaches to the assignment
        • some took a direct route but others had slightly more creative ideas
    • Personally, I used my knowledge from observing commercials and applied it to the assignment
      • I wanted to reach out to consumers and provide them with a product that is simple but useful

Presentation on tuesday

• I thought the presentation on tuesday was extremely informative
  • The graphs
    • Looking at graphs from different perspectives gives amazing insight
    • I thought it was really cool to see the different ways to read and interpret graphs. At first, they may seem to represent information in a misleading way. But, Upon further review, they can represent totally different data.
  • My project
    • using visuals to help the audience interpret my ideas
      • pitching ideas for my proposal
    • I want my visuals to represent my ideas that i would be pitching to a company or laboratory
    • I want the visuals to convince them to take on the project
      • must be clear, concise, enticing and interesting

I thought that the variety of different ways to use maps is extremely interesting. Maps tend to be directed towards geography, but in reality they can be useful for various different things. In specific, I like the first map because it has a historical feel. It looks similar to a map that you would find in medieval times. In addition, I believe scales for maps are extremely important. Knowing distances is key in determining how to travel to destinations.

• I thought Mr.Dawson’s presentation was one of the best all year
  • she engaged the audience and the presentation was extremely interesting
  • the discussions were relevant and I never felt bored at any point
  • Also, I thought the conversations and topics were extremely mature
    • she talked about adult issues and brought up ideas that I would not of thought of before hand
• I liked how the discussion was student based
  • she didn’t present the whole but instead let us lead some of the conversations
• Overall it was a great presentation
  • engaging
  • interesting
  • significant
  • applies to real life
    • thoughts for the future
    • self reflection

• Images in context
  • visual culture
    • visual data in fields of culture
  • scientific images
    • looking practices are as dependent on cultural context and culturally informed interpretation as images from popular culture
• science
  • blend of social political culture
• Nikolas Rose
  • biomedical paradigm
    • stem cell research etc.
• Science
  • as pop culture
  • “Seeing the Unseen”
    • Discovery
    • incorporating all aspects of science and culture
• Theater of Science
  • Da Vinci
  • Blending of Science and art
    • anatomy
      • Da vinci’s drawing of the human body
        • more than just a scientific drawing
          • represents something much bigger
            • human society
              • mankind

After my presentation I received some awesome feedback.

• Final Project feedback
  • Since I will not be able to create an exact replica of my presentation, I want to create a proposal.
    • Meaning that I will design the project as if I was presenting the idea to a company.
    • I will create outlines and make sketches as to exactly what the project will consist of.
      • project
        • Light board
          • synchronized with different shapes to tell a story
            • project will be outlined and designed so that the future lab would be able to execute accordingly
  • From peer reviews
    • I feel as if the class liked  my idea but did not understand how I was going to execute
    • Feed back
      • to create a proposal
      • incorporate the lights as a symbol of something

• I thought that the search engine activity was very useful for future research
  • Search terms
    • “modern art”
    • “Space”
    • “abstract”
    • “Architecture”
• Future ideas
  • more information on fractals
    • different perspectives
      • It would be interesting to see different opinions on the work of jackson polluck.
      • possible project idea:
        • working with fractals and further looking at the D levels.
        • I might want to contact Dr.Taylor  about possible project ideas
          • could use the fractal machine
    • Looking at counter-arguments to fractals could provide an interesting perspective
