Show-A-Thing Reflection! (04/04/2023) :)

Hi All!

So I had all five of my Show-A-Thing meetings today! I had a blast!

The feedback was so helpful and really helped me to finalize and generate solutions to a few problems! I had the pleasure of speaking with Adam Colestock, Cindy Jeffers, Heidi Brant, Patrick Warren, and Maria Maciak! All of the feedback given was positive and helpful! I finally locked in on my audience and am ready to sail full speed ahead!

I also am 100% locked in on my venue as of now and am happy to say that I’ll be presenting this at my old high school Mt. Carmel High School in San Diego! I’m excited to take this thesis back to the place where it all started and hopefully, educate, inspire and gain some valuable feedback from the faculty, staff and students! 🙂

Here are my summed up notes from each person below!

Adam: Great Job! Immersive Gallery, Size Graphics, text, synergy, connection. Reminded him of children’s museum shadow walls. What role will the footsteps play? What role will shadows play? 

Cindy: Loved the writing! Incorporate myself into it which I plan to do! Empathetic, StoryCore, NPR, Great projections. Keep her posted so she can come see it! 

Heidi: Stage the footsteps like theater blocking. So engaging, possibly selfie wall for people to take pictures with. I thought about how many people I would want in the exhibit at a time. Heidi mentioned that the person’s shadow is as if they’re immersing themselves into the work!” 

Patrick: Visually impressive, love that I’m going back to my old high school to present this thesis! Taking something that matters to a previous place that matters! Mad Mapper could help with the warping of imaging. Would be great to end hearing my grandpa’s take on my initial question of  “is color everything?”

Maria: Powerful! Fragmenting the drawings really work! Footsteps symbolize relearning after learning, continuing the legacy! Beautiful, and Love!

Until next time! 🙂
