You will practice presenting in gallery walk for an hour. Half of the time will be to the 8th graders and half of the time will be to the high school science class. Mark Denning also would like to join us digitally. We need a volunteer to walk him around to view and discuss final projects with students. Friday | Gallery Walk Presentations Today, you need to begin creation of your GWT presentation. This presentation should be originally written on flashcards.

Artist Statement An artist statement is the written description of your project. The statement describes what was made, how it was made and why it was made in a formal written composition in order for the audience to understand the your point of view about the studied topic. Format: The artist statement should be a typed page in length. It is written using Arial, 11-point font, and single spaced. Since it is single spaced, paragraphs should not be indented, but instead have an extra space between each paragraph (consider my past two paragraphs in this syllabus!). While it is acceptable to use first-person “I” in an artist statement, do so sparingly. Remember the artist statement is about getting your audience to consider their own understanding of your work. This might be hard to do if you keep telling them through your writing what you think. Questions:
