Ideas on Composing Your Artist Talk

Here is what you talked about:

Be organized!
Show a Powerpoint of the work you submitted to F.U.E.L.
Show the documentation of this semester's projects and work from studio electives

1. Inspiration/where your ideas come from.

2. Look for commonalities in how your ideas have been expressed through new media this semester/ note divergences in how your ideas differ from the work you did this semester.

3. Did the divergences lead you somewhere new?

End Happily!
a. End with what you are thinking about now.
b. End with questions for the audience.
c. Ask a specific person for input. (for example, invite a sophomore to comment because she sees the work with fresh eyes, and that will help you. Ask a professor for input, similarly, fresh eyes, new perspective.)

Good luck, don't forget to practice out loud with the clock.
I know this is going to make for a more interesting crit for us all!
