Preliminary lists/thesis statements

kennethfg — Fri, 07 Jan 2011 16:42:18 +0000

For our Tuesday, January 18 class, be sure to have a typed/printed sheet (i.e. not handwritten: I’ll hand them back) that either has an outline of your thesis project or lists potential works for inclusion in your portfolio—either existing/to be revised, or proposed. Each item on the portfolio list should have a brief description (project title, dimensions, media, # of pages, etc.). Start with most likely pieces and work towards the least. For example:

1.
Personal magazine: The News of the Whirled.
Offset lithography, 8.25″ x 10.75″, 80 pages
