First Presentation

For my presentation visual im thinking of just making a poster or binging a manga to show those people who might not haven;t seen one
Ask two people what they might now about the art styles used in a comic/manga.
then then ask if they want to know something specific within the topic of my project.
Then i talk about the differentiation between the art types.
need to focus on the art aspect.
My literal would be specific details and what people don't know
Interpretive would be the differences within manga and its sub genres
My applied would be just a finalizing summary.

9-27-10 Questions to first presentations.
1. The hardest part of the presentation overall was definitely the information that i needed to gather. The amount of live sources to my exact topic are scarce so i need to look harder if  want to be able to keep this topic
2. For my difference Literal for me was facts that were known and needed to be known in the class about the topic manga and comics. people assume they are for kids thats not truw it has its own twist and detailed story that attracts all type of readers
For Intreprative i said facts and statements based off of my prop(kind of). Heres my difference

Literal means beneficiary statements that can help you with your topic using what you know contrasted against what you need to know
and
interpretive is using visuals or some kind of material that can help you produce facts that can help your description of your topic


3.What i can use for my next presentation for sure is a better prop bigger picture and also keep a steady eye with all the audience which will hope keep the focus on the whole room

Service Learning

-My house/Noey's House/ Free lancing

-SO for service learning what we have done so far is free lancing a bit  around the area and looking up job offers on the computer from videogame companies like bungee and EA. Also he has put me to watch videos on concept art for Mass effect and has asked me questions about the video and see if i can redifine my answer for the concept part of my topic.

The most important thing that i would say i learned would be the answer that is definite in my essential question which would be Detail. Depending on the amount of detail a concept piece has will either help attract more people in and also help you get you ideas out more
