Work on material for SF365, which will feature Onondaga Lake on Saturday 17 November. You will need to find a time to meet with your groups to do the following:
HW 1: required for all groups by the beginning of class Monday
Only one person from your group should do this, so there isn't repetition. Make captions!
Post images from Onondaga Lake to the SF365 site. Each group should be posting 3 images. Only one person from your group should do this, so there isn't repetition.

ONONDAGA LAKE ID is NYD986913580
HW 2: extra credit by the beginning of class Monday
Only one of your group members needs to post the newsletter to their blog. Include all the authors' names and works cited list.
Brooke Singer of Superfund 365 writes: I would like to use my weekly SF365 email on this Onondaga site. The email blast goes out to over 100 people including some EPA and Clinton folks. I think it would be great to have it authored by students. The past few weeks I have both used the email blast to describe the place and history of sites as well as conduct interviews or cover press events. Here are some examples of past email reports sent to the mailing list:

Each group will compile information from their essays, editing together the best excerpts to make the finished product. Please check the links to get a sense of the previous reports, and keep in mind the mission and perspective of the organization for whom you are writing. If you haven't checked out the SF365 site, you should do that and discuss with your group. Here is an excerpt that will give you a sense of their point of view:
Without a robust trust fund, Superfund not only translates into a burden for taxpayers but is weakened politically. The program today is more like a Band-Aid than a remedy. The EPA, without financial or political power, is hard pressed to take care of the worst cases of contamination that threaten human health and the environment across the U.S.
I will ask Brooke to choose the best report from each class. The members of this group will receive an extra 6 points on the CONTENT score for essay 2. Everyone who submits will get 3 extra points.
Monday 19 November: in-class work on final project - CHOOSE SITE
in-class: 1-Choose the site with your group. 2-Brainstorm with your group about the project to create a list of issues or topics the project might address, as well as forms it might take.
THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY
Monday 26 November
HW: read KWON Chapter 3: Sitings of Public Art: Integration Versus Intervention and contemplate possibilities for the group project
in-class: quiz on Kwon Chapter 3 and work day on the project. DO NOT MISS CLASS. This quiz cannot be rescheduled for those who are absent.
Your group will narrow down topics for the project. Each group must choose a different "inspiration" project from other groups in the class.
Wednesday 28 November
HW: Create a group-authored VISUAL representation about some information that relates to your project. (Onondaga Lake Park OR Armory Square). See the Superfund 365 site for an example of how an artist has used data visualization (graphs, charts, maps) to present information. For example, if your project is about the lack of public phones in Armory Square, then use the map to indicate the location of existing public phones. If your project is about the the history and future of recreation at Onondaga Lake Park, make a timeline of events or mark all the spots that used to be swimming access points.
in-class: final screening
Friday 30 November
HW: Each person in your group should bring printed copies of an INDIVIDUAL creative brief for their group mates and POST it to the blog.
Don't work on this together. You will share your ideas together in class.
The creative brief will provide short answers to the following questions:
- What is the project about?
- Describe what FORM the project will take.
- Why do you want to work in the location you have chosen?
- What is the history of the site?
- Why is this site particularly appropriate for the project?
- Is this project an integration or an intervention, and why?
- Will you get permission to work in the site?
- How does the piece disrupt OR fit in with the surroundings?
- Name at least one artist project that we have looked at this semester that inspired your project and explain why your project is related.
- What are the goals & objectives of the project?
- How will you measure success for your project?
- Profile the target audience. Who are they? What do they care about? What are their expected reactions?
- How do you want your audience to interact with your project?
