Multimedia Artifact

 

Rubric/Worksheet: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RotqF8dnxFbv_QF4SruIAZzUriETNyP0TlDANBMp3Lc/edit?usp=sharing 


Short Version of the worksheet:

  1. Select a significant purpose typical of your discipline/grade level.

My name is:  __Tiffany Gibbons

My content area/discipline is:  __Theatre Education____________

The grade level I plan to teach is:  ____Elementary Integrated Arts_

The typical educational purpose I will address is:  __Advocating for funding of Media and Theatre Arts  in the community__

My reason for choosing this purpose is:  _2020 proved to be a challenging time financially, and decisions are being made by the community and administrators of schools to establish where the funds need to be allocated. I wanted to remind the audience of the meme I created (parents and educators alike) that investing in the arts is a worthy cause.


  1. Select a tool to create the artifact.  The tool(s) I will use: __I will use Google Image to find relevant pictures, then a photo editing tool to turn the images into a meme._

  2. Create the artifact, ensuring it fulfills intended purposes.

6)  What have you done to try to evaluate sources for bias and avoid biased portrayals of diverse identities?  Why is this important? ___I have attempted to cover a wide variety of figures to edit into the image that covered media that people most likely partook in throughout quarantine in 2020. I used a musical (which was released on a children’s media platform), a musical artist (who released two albums), a TV show which earned many awards in 2020 (which I binged the entirety of), a recently popular meme (Bernie and his mittens), and a nod to the media many young people are using to create their own art (I had the pleasure of watching an entirely app-created virtual musical). Any bias I may have had while creating this is only using media figures I am personally familiar with. I appealed to things that hopefully helped many people during 2020 to appeal to ethos.______

Digital and Social Media Adaptation

  This project functions as an adaptation in the form of a response of sorts. Ode to an Orange highlights the emotional journey and nostalgia associated with eating an orange, especially as it relates to his family experiencing it together. It very nearly thanks the humble orange for providing such positive memories (as well as immune support). While reading this ode, I was taken on a journey that reminded me of my own experiences with oranges: my dad pulling over in California to pick up oranges that had fallen from trees, every Christmas morning finding an orange in the toe of my stocking. It got me to thinking: what kind of an ode would oranges write to us? Now, obviously it would likely be more of a plea for their lives; I chose to take some creative liberties, imagining that the beautiful orange enjoys being an emotional and physical support to us. Thus, my adaptation of this ode was born. The texts being used are greatly varied from one another, not only by time and subject m...

Something Hopeful Photograph

  Reminders In times such as these, it is easy to forgot the impact I might have on those around me. I am constantly being gaslit by my own mind, being told "People don't need you", "People are annoyed by you", "Who are you to think you have anything to teach other people". In those moments, I pull out the reminders. Letters, notes, cards, things slipped across the table during school and things mailed from halfway across the world. Some are from friends, reminding me of a time I was able to lift them up. Some are from dance students and gymnasts, thanking me through shaky handwriting and flattering drawn images. I treasure each word, because they remind me that I am more than my challenges.   I created this image as I read through the letters this evening, piling them one on top of the other. These reminders are the definition of hope: something to cling to as I move forward in uncertain times. The image looks a little chaotic, just as hope often does...
