I wanted to show you some more of the posters from MLK day. You are seeing the final products, which in most cases went through SEVERAL iterations. This was a project where having our laptops and cameras completely changed our possibilities. Had we been working by hand, we would have make one rough or planning draft, made changes and executed the final. The possibility to make many kinds of changes, see if it was better, and save or try again quickly was like having many lessons from the old days in one. And everyone could understand concepts better because everyone could try and idea and see what it would look like without having to commit to it. With the projector,  we could quickly get many images to demonstrate whatever points, issues or questions came up. The technology we got this summer feels like it has exploded what we can do in several areas.  I do want to mention that the training I received, as well as some of the training that the class has received is made possible through a generous grant from Partners in the Arts for the “Our Richmond” project.

This is Aggie’s final project, which I took a photo of. Anna and I are learning a lot about what programs do and do not work well together.  Aggie used image, color and text details and made about 7 drafts to come up with a poster which the class felt communicated both overtly and by implication.
