Week 16: Projects

Week 16: Project Addresses 

Post online semester project/Read and comment on classmates projects

I will be adding some more end notes and commentary here, but it is here where I would like for each of you to post your blogger or website address for your final project (even if you posted it already or elsewhere). It will be here, for example, under each of your posts for your addresses, where we will leave feedback and comments about your project. If you already posted your project on this blog, that's fine, but still post and let us know it's on here, so we can comment under this week on your post. I want to keep all of the comments about projects together under this week.

I am posting this a week early. There is no need to post this week yet. I just wanted to make sure that this is where each of us will officially post the address of our project or other sites to look at--then under each of those addresses, I am expecting each of us will support/comment/talk about everybody's project. 

Week 15: Apr 28-May 4

MAE Papers. This is where I usually ask everybody to read at least one, or more, of some previous MAE exhibition and project papers and MAE theses. For anyone in the MAE, this is the end product or capstone paper. Some of them are in various stages, but you will get the picture. I have sent an invitation to your TTU email account from Dropbox. Look through the MAE papers and at the titles and choose something that piques your interests. Choose one to read and comment on.

I hope everybody is grounded and fairly sane as the semester moves toward its ending.

As we end Live through This, I just wanted to note how differently some of the comments cut closer to the bone, in a way, in terms of "getting it" or actively posting empathetically. I too feel left out of conversations with colleagues who don't want to get it--whatever that may be or mean. The first time I read Live Through This, I knew I was privileged as I read through the varied yet connected realities witnessed by artists and writers. I loved how a series of portraits--was in essence--an essay. Thank you for all of your posts from last week. And thank you for sharing your lives and experiences--truly moving for me to read and witness.
