FINAL EXAM

Project Portion

You have about 2 hours to complete a project with your favorite program(s) that we used during this course.

            Final Cut Pro X, Photoshop, Illustrator, Corel Painter, Sculptris

This should represent one of the following themes:

 life goals/ambitions

anxieties/fears

personal heroes

personal values/morals

your culture

Work will be evaluated based on use of compositional rules, color theory, technical proficiency with software tools, and the degree to which the project conveys the chosen theme.

Reflection Portion
What theme did you chose to address in your final project and why?

Regarding your favorite project:

            Why did it turn out well/why was this your favorite project?

What might you do differently next time.

What was your least favorite project?

            What was most difficult about it? What did you dislike about it?

Both portions must be completed and posted to your blog by 12:15
