Final Project - Assignment Instructions

Grade: 40%

ASSIGNMENT DESCRIPTION, INSTRUCTIONS, AND STRUCTURE

This is a practice-based assignment that invites you to make something of your choosing to explore and showcase your creativity. You have the option of working in collaboration or alone and are expected to rely on both the course content and your experience of the course as a way to explore, define, reflect critically upon, and record your making process.

Thus far, you have been working at using the course and its assigned content to discover examples of creativity and examine and discuss them. Now, you are tasked with using the course and its assigned content to devise and structure a process for the creating/making and to critically examine  both the  process and what you  produce.  Providing  an  account  of and  critical reflection  on  both  your  creative process and how  the course figured in that process is important as this is your opportunity to demonstrate the extent to which you are involved in the course, in command of its content, and able to apply it to the context of your own creative practice and creative ability.

Your project can take whatever form you see fit. It can be a video, dance, website, blog, creative writing etc.

NOTE 1: Your assignment must demonstrate that you have produced SOMETHING NEW for this assignment.

NOTE 2: The evaluation of your submissions does not focus on the quality of the creative object/final product (the “thing” made) but instead on:

•   your commitment to exploring,

•   charting your creative process,

•   your ability to employ the course to structure your project.

Your critical analysis of what you make, of your account of the creative process and of how you used the course in relation to that creative process constitute the key component of your submission. These parts are, therefore, the most important features of your submission where the assignment evaluation is concerned.

Note how these items/criteria are a development of the work you have being doing for the course (critical self-reflection, critical analysis assignments, and Discussion Posts) in a new context.

Group project assessment options: (you may skip this part if you are not doing a group project)

You can choose how you would like your group projects to be assessed.

In addition to the making of the final product, if you wish to collaborate on writing the critical analysis and submit a co-authored analysis and description of your project, you may do so and let me know by July 19, 2024.

If you want to work in groups but would like the project analysis to be evaluated individually (this means, each group member will submit his/her/their own analysis), let me know by July 19, 2024.

If you wish to be evaluated as a group, your write-up must include a note about the contribution and function of group members in the writing process. This part need not be longer than 1-2

sentences for each group member. (For example: Who did the editing? Who wrote the first draft? How did you develop the conceptual/theoretical framework of your analysis?)

→ Example: Let’s say Student A, Student B, and Student C wrote the analysis. You could note the breakdown of the division of labour as follows:

A Note on the Collaboration Student A: proofreading

Student B: did the editing and suggested to use Mikhal Epstein’s “The Interesting.” Student C: wrote the first draft and suggested to add [X] to the analysis.

Guidelines for different projects:

Video Projects (i.e., a short film, dance choreography etc.):

Length: Maximum 10 minutes. (no minimum limit)

Creative writing projects:

• Poetry collections: no more than 7 poems

• Short stories: no longer than 5 pages (double-spaced) the margins set at 1-inch (2.54 cm) all around, Word document, 12 pt, Times New Roman Font.

•   If you have any questions regarding the above, please get in touch.

IMPORTANT: In the event submissions do not adhere to the above guidelines for submitting work, penalties will be applied: - 5 points.

GUIDELINES AND EVALUATION

What Your Submission Must include:

NOTE 3: Only for video submissions: if you can’t upload your video to OWL due to the file size, you may copy a link to your Google or OneDrive folder or to YouTube.

1. Visual evidence of the thing you’ve made (photo or video, where applicable):

a. For visual arts, blog, web design, and fashion projects visual evidence of the thing you made. You do not have to make a real, functional website for this, you can submit screenshots of  a web design you have made or something that illustrates your vision and project.

b. For video submissions, the video counts as evidence and you don’t need to supply extra visual evidence unless you want to.

c. For creative writing projects, you do not have to submit visual evidence (i.e., a photo of your screen) unless you want to. In the case of creative writing projects, the writing itself counts   as evidence. However, you still need to submit evidence of the planning stage (see below, item #2.) For example: the books you’ve read/consulted, source of inspiration, any routine you followed in the writing period, posters of films you watched etc., etc., (note: these are only suggestions; we are aware that everybody has a different process.)

2. An account of your creative process: For this you have the choice to submit a PowerPoint

presentation or a video of the making process/planning: document the different stages of your   process with notes. For example, for paintings take photos of different stages of your sketches or a mood board etc.

2a. For Power Point presentations: total of 9 slides (including the title slide. This means one title slide + maximum of 8 slides)

2b. For video submissions: maximum 2 minutes

NOTE 4: unless it is absolutely necessary, avoid statements like “I went to Dollarama to get supplies”; you will not get points for this type of account. If something you experienced/encountered on your trip to Dollarama had a transformative impact on your project, then you may include it but otherwise no need to mention it. Instead, tell me about your thought process, your planning, your sources of inspiration etc.

In the event submissions do not adhere to the above guidelines (number 1 and 2 , 2a, 2b) for submitting work, penalties will be applied. - 5 points for each missing component.

3. Critical analysis of your work in relation to the course content:

Format: Word docx; Times New Roman, 12 pt. font, double-spaced, margins set to “Normal” (2.54 cm all around)

NOTE 5: Only offline Word document attachments will be accepted (same as the Critical Analysis assignment.) Strictly no links to Google Docs or the online version of Word, no PDF, no Apple Pages or other alternative formats.

Attach the Word document to OWL to submit.

Length: project description + analysis = total 450-500 words

NOTE 6: technical details such as works cited page and items, titles, subheadings, your name, course code information, image captions are NOT included in the word count. In-text citations are INCLUDED in the word count. ONLY the body of your writing is included in the word count.)

NOTE 7: Use sub-headings to separate sections. For example, for the description part write “Project Description”; for the analysis, write “Analysis,” etc.

The analysis portion must include the following components in one document:

1. A short but detailed description of your project (no minimum; maximum limit: 75-100 words) Do NOT merely say that you did a painting.

NOTE 8: Word count penalty: under 75 or above 100: –3 points.

2. An analysis of your project/the thing you’ve made (between 375-425 words OR 350-400

words):your analysis must make solid and specific connections to the course content.

Depending on your project and process, you may use this part to offer an analysis of your creative process, or, like the critical analysis assignment, you may focus on the thing you’ve made and

write about it. You can be as creative as you want. Whatever your approach, you should be

striving to use the course content in a way that demonstrates your ability to explain your

project/the thing you’ve made OR your creative process in a way that demonstrates that you

understand the course content you are using. This means, you are asked to make specific, solid, and meaning connection(s) to the course content.

NOTE 9: Word count penalty and flexibility above or under the stipulated word count mentioned above: –3 points.

NOTE 10: DO NOT only write “the course helped me” and DO NOT only say “Week 5 helped me” etc. Be specific; tell us which reading/viewing and in what way.

NOTE 11: No footnotes; in-text citations only. Include a Works Cited page (MLA or Chicago or APA, you do not check in with us to confirm which one you are using. Visit owl.purdue, Western library or Western Writing Support Center with editing and technical aspects of your writing.

Remember, it is your responsibility to make a timely appointment with Western Writing Support Center ahead of the assignment deadline. If you wish to get help from the Writing Support Center, make your appointment in advance, do not wait until the last minute (for instance, 2 weeks before the deadline.)

Remember the course policy: Late assessments without academic consideration will be subject to a late penalty 5%/day. (See the course outline for more information.)

Finally, proceed in your making work with the following suggestions in mind:

•   Optimize your creativity—however you now understand and define creativity

•   Do a self-assessment (your interests, what you like, what you are passionate/curious about etc.)

•   Challenge yourself at every step and wherever possible—beware of relying only on your strengths, repeating what is familiar to you as an artist/maker, and avoid falling back on to unproductive habits.

•   Grow where you see the opportunity and need to, trying new things, learning new skills, acquiring new information (use the library resources, watch films, read, visit exhibitions, do research, etc., etc.,)

•   Embrace the obstacles and constraints (seek them out even) that enable you to be creative or discover creativity.

•   Keep a diary to record your thoughts and impressions.

•   Enjoy yourself!
