update:  the college is now calling the open house day on Tuesday November 9  "Experience Arts & Communication"

Planning for everyone     Write a summary under your name of what you plan to do and link it to your "group project" page    I just want to see the various ideas in one page.

some information  about the department and teachers are posted below

I just created a new website to aggregate all our videos I already posted some from the past... check it out http://vbclass.mirocommunity.org/

We will also post on our posterous blog     http://vbclass.posterous.com/   and individually on your respective  Jimdo  page

Lewis:   add your content here

Troy: I will use video footage, and interviews with students and faculty.  I will get this content from my Video Production Professor Adam Farrell(who has given me permission). He has equipment that will allow me to record and log and capture data that is relevant to this project. And Professor Philippe Lejeune from our video blogging class. I sure hope he allows me to do this. I will also be hopefully be able to assist my fellow classmates on there projects. Mainly Just the interview portions.

I plan to Interview students from both of my classes.  My three interview questions will be based on what the class has for equipment or what browsers it uses.

 Since I saw that Alexis wants to do this, I was also thinking about posting something about this on the CCCC facebook page to try to get some written responses from the students. There is also a CCCC theater page...what do you think?

Desiree:  I'll be taking photos and video of my Drawing 1 class as well as Professor Lejeune's class. I'm working on editing the video and will post it as soon as I'm finished. 

I also have pictures of Professor Lejeune's students working. I am contemplating on going to other classes as well. I might.

Sam: I'll be taking photos and video of the Middle-Eastern Dance class, along with interviews and student/teacher statements

and my plan is to post this material at regular intervals up to the actual open house to basically create an online presence for the event in conjunction with the rest of the VB class students.

Daniel:  add your content here

Alexis: I will use a combination of photographs, video footage, and interviews with students and faculty.  I will get this content from my digital photography taught by Elizabeth Hathon and my mosaics class taught by James Bowen (who has already given me permission), and I will also accompany my classmate Sam Holmstock to cover a Middle Eastern Dance Class.

I plan to collect photographs I like that my fellow photography students have tooken, and take photographs of my fellow students mosaic art as well as visit and photograph a huge mosaic mural done on the Cape by James Bowen and students on a bike path bridge.  I will also photograph and film the dancers and the students in their studio/theater atmosphere.  In each of these three classes I will interview as many students that will allow me to, and film their answers.  My interview questions will be based on their experience with the CCCC Art Department.   

I will also interview my brother who is a current art major, and possibly some of my friends who have taken art classes at CCCC in the recent past, as well as give input stemming from my own experience.

I was also thinking about posting something about this on the CCCC facebook page to try to get some written responses from the students.

Go to my group project page: 

Alexis There was a mistake in the way you posted your video... I will show you how to proceed when you call me on Skype

infos about the open house:

Date:  Tuesday, November 9 - Thats my birthday!!!!! (Dan Peterson, I stole the editing lock to add this :) )
Time:  All day
Place:  Tilden Arts Center
Name:  Experience the Arts @CCCC
The plan would be to have all of our classes open to visitors on that day.  We chose a Tuesday because there are plenty of performance classes on that day, in addition to our regular classes.
What I need from you is buy in.  Will you allow guests to wander in and out of your classes/studios on that day to observe you and your students in action?
Can you help recruit some students that will act as ambassadors on that day to meet and greet guests in the lobby?  What other ideas can you contribute to make this successful?  Do you think we should include classes that meet in other buildings (i.e.  graphic design, communication)? 
 
Your feedback, cooperation, and action are all appreciated.

"I’ve heard complaints for a number of years from members of the department about the college’s open house.  Now is our opportunity to break ground on a whole new open house experience.  You may remember that I “volunteered” our department to be the models for what we think would be a more student friendly open house opportunity.  It’s now that time.

"Of course I will say yes to having prospective students observe on Tues. November 9th.   I will think about how to better set up the studio physically to allow
people to observe.  Currently there is not a lot of room  to just walk around."

"The Radio Classes are definitely in!  I have student ambassadors available to give tours of the radio station throughout the day. Attendees can view the radio station in action, be part of a live broadcast, or be interviewed for student projects. "

This sounds like a wonderful idea, let me know if I can do anything for you with my class.
"Absolutely yes!  The music room has those double wide doors to the lobby and we can leave them standing open during Music Appreciation and Music Theory. Jazz Combo is meeting on the main stage so there is plenty of room in the auditorium for visitors."
