Before you take off for the summer, please add your final projects on the class website. Here’s how:
- Create a new post on the class website with a catchy title and a cool featured image for your project, and immediately select the ‘Political Art’ category so that the post gets filed in the right place. (The better your title and featured image, the more ‘traffic’ your post will generate.)
- Go wild with creativity – include pictures, text, and definitely a featured image. Need more guidance? Take pictures of your project and/or teammates (with permission), and write-up on how/why you went about picking this topic and making the art.
- Creativity is great but not at the expense of readability. Organize your post in the way you want your readers to engage with it. Unless you want your readers to feel chaotic and lost (which is also ok and sometimes what artists want), then think about the logic, structure, and flow of your post.
- Give credit where credit is due – ideas, quotes, and pics should all be credited if you did not create them. Credit in whatever way you like that makes sense for your project, but do give credit, otherwise its plagiarism, and not very nice.
- It may be hard to collaborate with your teammates on WordPress, so do it on Google Docs first and then move it over to WordPress once finished.
- Questions? Email Hamad at hsindhi@gradcenter.cuny.edu.
Have fun, and have a great summer!
