Podcast project
Project Reflection
I really enjoyed this project. I did my podcast on an American female artist, Inka Essenhigh. I chose from the list of artists Dr. Gautlin provided for us. Her name stood out as well as her art. The process of putting everything together went fairly smooth considering I did have issues. While I was half way done with the audio portion of this project my laptop shut down on me. I recovered it but the program was acting weird, so I ultimately decided to start all over. It didn't take long, however, while recording there is a part in the audio when I, for an instant, have some sort of Boston accent. I catch it every time I listen to the video and it's the funniest thing. Working through iMovie was also fairly easy.
This project seems perfect for having students learn about new artists they haven't come across. While going through the list of artists I knew a few that were on the list and wanted to introduce myself to a new artist. While going through Essenhigh's paintings I felt somewhat inspired and motivated. Having students dive into new art can not only help build their taste in art but also help inspire them them to create. This could probably followed be with another project and have students create something that was influenced or inspired by the artist they studied. This could then provide an opportunity for them to try a new medium. |
