Project Reflection


Because this project included multiple media, I was able to use the pictures that I had taken to illustrate my points. This made it easier to talk more about the implications of the evidence that I used and allowed me to spend less time discussing what the features of the room actually look like (that would have been tedious and confusing). Seeing as I had already written papers in art history classes that required the use of visual evidence, I was already familiar with the techniques of using non-written evidence.

This project, like the other projects in this class, was based on using evidence to articulate an original claim based on a conceptual lens, as opposed to simply "analyzing" another author's work and picking apart his or her claim. However, in this project, the conceptual lens that I used only allowed me a very limited set of guidelines or arguments that I could use to inform my project (although the book itself was very long, it was mostly pictures and explanations of other well-designed exhibits). This meant that I had to formulate a claim and gather evidence without much of a text to back me up, which is what I did almost by accident originally. Also, the evidence that I used, instead of finding images or sources on the internet or in a library, were my own photos which was very different from the first two projects..
