Catalogue Presentation

Words I like Resume Rationale because, first and foremost, it introduces variances in genre, which is completely invaluable. Resumes are very specific, which makes them relatively easy to teach. This leaves the actual project--application of a principle that they are familiar with--with most of the real estate, which is perfect. Pushing students to look at something they may understand from only aspect from a completely different viewpoint will allow them to discover new ideas, both about the principle and about themselves. English: Resume for a theme, like guilt, communication, relationships, to build a thorough knowledge and analysis of concept. Drama: Resume of a character, to help build understanding of the character. Images Color Palette is interesting, again, in its genre-bending. It allows for personal creativity in a thoroughly personal, introspective way, but also calls for more extensive analysis and textual/experiential support than they may have had to claim p...

Textual Poaching

For my remix, I took one of Rupi Kaur’s poems and covered all words but a few to create my own poem. It was fun, and significantly more difficult than I anticipated. I liked the end result because it isn’t something I would’ve ever come up with without the preemptive structure, but it is still original and creative in its own right. If the picture is hard to read, the poem is as follows:             As a big one is thunder,             I make meat to cut the crackle.             I’d take your eyes.             I am the whiskey             With expectations. I don’t like Ms. Kaur’s poetry. I don’t think it’s profound, or particularly thoughtful; I think it’s highly digestible, and therefore highly ...

Process

https://youtu.be/iNsCVG_edDo The most interesting thing about my process project was the elimination. I thought of many ideas. Some were silly, or mundane, or private. I initially wanted to film the process of going down a set of stairs, or tying a shoe—this idea quickly bored me, even with all my ideas about filming gimmicks. Then I thought I could film the process of my fiancĂ© packing up his things at midnight each night and walking back to his apartment—this idea only last a minute or two, because frankly that’s a pretty intimate part of my life and sharing it in front a university class is not necessarily something I’m comfortable with. The project I ended up doing is a weird washi-tape creation on the living room wall of my apartment. I honestly should have just filmed the process of me trying to set up filming the process, because it was an ordeal. As I write this, there’s a chair atop a sofa in my living room, upside down, covered in spools of decorative tape. While I ...
