Final Presentations

For your final project you have to convince people your age, people like you to visit, and continue visiting, museums. For your presentation think about these questions:

  • Did you find beauty in museums and art?
  • Would you go back?
  • Can you attract people to experiment the sensation of going to museums?
  • Can you really capture a young person's attention?
  • Can you be convincing?
  • Can you be AUTHENTIC, HONEST and ORIGINAL?
You might want to write some more questions for yourself.

Also, remember that it is very important for you to express your well thought out ideas. Do not just go to the cliches, the empty words that everyone repeats. Speak from your heart. Go back to the previous posts and look at the speaking an presentation tips. Be yourself. Use different intonations, use your body, look at people in the eye. Show everybody that you know what you are talking about.
  1. BE PROFESSIONAL. 
  2. You can present in anyway you like; PowerPoint or with other material.
  3. Executive uniforms must be worn as specified in your rule book.
  4. Use example and arguments that are clear. 
  5. There is NO reading.
  6. If you present in a team (pairs), BOTH member must speak equally.
  7. Projects will be presented on Tuesday, June 2nd. The class starts at 7 and you are expected to be there, fully prepared. ON TIME!
  8. Late arrivals will be counted as absences, and may lose points if they are disruptive.
  9. If i call your team and you or your partner are not there, you lose your opportunity.
  10. You must turn in a written document containing the detailed arguments and points of you presentation. If the material has been copied and pasted and/or translated literally your grade will be severely affected. If you do not turn in a document you will not be allowed to present.
Success is yours

An Artist Like Me


We all have, or have had, an artistic vein. Your job for your last presentation before the final project, is to find an artist like you.
Yes. You read right, an artist like you. (1) Go the entry on museum virtual tours. (2) Choose an artist, and (3) make a 6-slide PowerPoint presentation about how YOU and the artist are similar and two ways in which you are different. (4) Include specific examples of the painting or scupture or photograph that highlight these similarities or differences. 
(5) You will also read this and PAY ATTENTION. You might also want to watch the video I had shared with you, in order to organize your presentation as I broke it down for you last Monday. Finally (6) you must include notes in the presentation so that I may see them as you are presenting without reading.
THIS presentation, as well as last week's MAC presentation are the most important ones.
Presentations MUST BE sent to my email (ralfortiz@gmail.com) by today at midnight.
