Question 1 (Chapter 18) 

Write a Commemorative Speech one page in length. In this Commemorative Speech, you will pay tribute to one person. This speech will be in MS Word, double-spaced, Ariel font, font size 11.

The person to whom you pay tribute is a person you currently know personally or knew personally. This person will not be a famous, historical, or contemporary figure. Because this is a Commemorative Speech, this assignment calls for a less didactic speech than the informative and persuasive speeches. Commemorative Speeches focus particularly on the use of language, so you must use language imaginatively and experiment with the devices for enhancing clarity and vividness discussed in Chapter 12. 

This one-page Commemorative Speech must exemplify the principles of commemorative speaking discussed in Chapter 18.

Question 2 (Chapter 20)

Think about a group you were part of in this last year. Identify a relatively important decision you made as a member of that group that affected you negatively. This means you will think of a decision you made that did not have a successful ending for you.

Choose a decision for which you did not use the reflective-thinking method.
 
Reconstruct how you reached that decision in about 100 words.
 
Explain how you would re-make the decision following the reflective-thinking method.
Do this in about 200 words, explaining what you would do at each stage of the method.

Essential resources.
We all need our inspiration. A way to determine your taste, your interests, color schemes, things that motivate you to try in your own work in the studio.
Processes:
-Gathering: (make sure to properly record @artist_name) from Instagram, pinterest, hollowware artists, real-life objects
-Analysis: reflect on your choices. Categorize and understand your tastes and the things that speak to you. Is this inspiring you to do some sketching of you own ideas? You can also make your own sketches or collage work to develop a line of work.
-Documentation: Journal? Folder? Photoshop collage or PDF?

From the pdfs you sent, I understand you are working on two ideas. One is masks and the other has designs by Ciga Long. The mask document has 4 links (the fist one doesnt work) showing forged masks and videos on forging steel masks. What you wrote does not really qualify as analysis of the resources , this is defined as detailed examination of the elements or structure of something.” It does describe (it was very confusing) a series of gold, wood and pearl masks for animals with huge glasses? Does this refer to work you have sketched of tried to craft? The second document presents thee designs by Ciga Long. This one is more clear but the quality of the analysis could be further developed. If this is all you have, and this is all you are going to present for this assignment, I really think it is not sufficient.  This is why I wanted for us to agree on a strategy.

To improve on the work that you have so far I need you to do the following:
-improve on your analysis. Ask yourself questions and be more descriptive on the information that you are gathering from each resource. The videos show an impressive amount of technique and work processes. How can you apply this to your work? In the Ciga Long document it would be interesting to find out the types of stones, materials and techniques. It could also be interesting to analyze the pieces in terms of the elements of design (symmetry, color, negative space.)
-develop your ideas further. Define, in a clear and simple way what you want to do. Break it down in steps and present them in an orderly fashion. If the animal gold mask line is an idea you are developing then you need to design animal mask patterns for a mask. You also mentioned pearl and wood, another challenge is to research how to deal with these materials and finding a technique to cold connect them to the metal.
-further documentation. If you have done sketches, cut-out patterns, made some models, document it! Take a photo and arrange it in a document. Please describe what you are showing. It helps me understand what you are thinking better.
