Midterm Information:

Dear Art Sci & Tech students,

We spent quite a bit of time preparing a document that will help guide your midterm project. Below are instructions and attached is a ppt of a mock project and a pdf copy if you want to print it out. We picked a topic that is relevant, but not covered in class -- art and climate change -- and Lis came up with a great idea for a project. You will choose one of the topics we have covered so far and create a 10 page power point. We are really looking forward to your presentations and believe this midterm could be inspiring, informing and fun!

All the Best,
Victoria Vesna

Also, be sure to check out last year's site for some additional references/resources.
