Upload to D2L > submissions > Artist Presentation
Must be uploaded on D2L before the start of class on the due date.

NOTE: I understand this is a tight deadline and you may not know what you want to do for your final project or that the idea you developed in Professional Practice may have changed. However, it's important that we jump right in and verbalize our thoughts and begin to make decisions. Your ideas will change as the course progresses, but this is a great starting point. This will also allow us to become familiar with each other's backgrounds. Presentation can be any format including PowerPoint, Keynote, PDF etc.
