There are two models for the project reviews. In one, a member of the studio art faculty (or sometimes an advanced student) leads the review. In the other, we do things more collaboratively. The notes below are for the collaborative version. Guest leaders choose their own approaches.

Reviewing images: Big picture

• We'll begin with a quick overview of all the images I recieved.
• Our mentors will choose the first set of images to explore.
• After we finish with one group's set of images, that group will choose the next set of images to explore.
• We'll continue until we run out of images or run out of time.
• If there's time left at the end, we'll debrief a bit.
• Reminder: We'll be talking about the code in the next class.

Reviewing images: Individual series

• Those who chose the series will indicate why they chose the series.
• The next 'volunteer' will say something positive about the series.
• The next 'volunteer' will indicate what design principles they see the designers exploring.
• The next 'volunteer' will describe any emotional responses the images evoke. (You can choose just one.)
• The next 'volunteer' will suggest something that the designers might do to improve their images.
• The group will talk about design principles and the feelings they were trying to evoke.
• The next 'volunteer' will ask the group one question.
