Text: “Art: It Makes You Think”  

A piece of artwork that I admire (top of my white board):

This design was made by an older friend and art tutor of mine that was gifted to me. I always admired her style.

Iconic element (3 keyboard-inspired images at the left):

Inscriptions say, “Enter” with an image of the lightbulb. It is an idea to enter into your own thought process, and start thinking!

A piece of my own artwork (In the bottom center of my white board):

This is an inspirational design of a jellyfish. I chose to include this particular piece as my artwork, because I wanted people to stare at it and wonder, “What is that?” As a result, it makes one think!

Diagram (On my laptop keyboard):

Because of limited space, I taped my diagram on my laptop keyboard. I think it worked well, since a lot of people looked more closely at my diagram since it was right under the video.

My Non-Didactic Panel: White Board

I chose the white board because this is what I used the most to brainstorm and help think through my ideas. Also, it was the perfect size which fitted the requirements.

My box:

-My manifesto: A sprial, slinky-inspired 3D object.

-A frame I had and still cherish since I was young. To go with my chalk theme, I replaced my photo inside with chalk paper.

-Interactive Element: Chalk paper. I wanted for people to recognize the playful aspect of chalkboards, and even left out an array of chalks in the colors respective to my manifesto.

-Sketching 2B Pencils, Pens, and Color Pencils: To promote the idea of creating art. These are items that I use almost everyday, so they are quite sentimental to me.

-A real lightbulb: I included the lightbulb to attract the audience, and I also thought it will go well with my theme of “Art: It Makes You Think” This may also serve as my time-based element.

Digital Element (YouTube video):

A video of me drawing and painting my parents and my brother, including a slideshow of christmas cards I made for my close friends. My family and friends are my inspiration and make a huge part of who I am and what art I make today. This can also serve as my time-based element. (My laptop even died before my presentation.)
