November 15, 2018 - Thursday

Class Work

1. Share the history of your chosen technology . . . top 5 things to know!

2. Your technology through the eyes of an artist.

As in the war paper, you can might be surprised at the messages artists share about your technology.

A, Locate a work of art. Study it. Here are the questions once again. What does the artist think about technology?


Looking at Art -
  • What is the title of the work? How does the title help you to understand the message? What is the message?
  • What is the most obvious image in the work. To where is your eye drawn?
  • Look at the colors. Are they symbolic? Would the message be different if the colors were different? Explain.
  • Study the shading and shadowing. How do these elements impact the overall message?
  • Who is the artist? When was the work created? Is the artist's message about a specific event piece of technology.  What was going on in the world when the work was created? Is the art universal - speaks to people of all times and in all places with or without technology, or is it limited to the audience for whom it was created?
  • How does the work relate to the technology.
B. Conducting an interview:

Why? (discuss)

Now, create 7-10 questions that you will ask of someone who is older and may not have always used your chosen technology.

Create 7-10 questions to ask of someone who is an avid fan or or who uses your chosen technology.

You will be conducting two interviews - one for each of the above. One must be a person-to-person interview. (advantages/disadvantages?) 

The other may be conducted by phone, e-mail, text, FacetTime or other long distance platform. (advantages/disadvantages?)

Practice today with each other. (Random partners)

Post your interview notes in CANVAS by Tuesday.
