NEW NEWS, May 2009

Your Final Project

If an art work it should:

be an original image, animation, or musical piece

us some math from chaos theory of fractal geometry

follow the example of an expo (as a minimum)

If an art history report it should:

introduce and study the work of one artist

explain how s/he uses chaos theory or fractal geometry

discuss the aesthetics/success of the body of work

Your Final Website

Your home page should point to your "Porter College 34B" course page

Your course page should have links to each of your 10 homeworks:

HW#5A, 5B, 6A, 6B, 7A, 7B, 8A, 8B, 9A, 9B

with one web page for each homework

Your course page should have a link to your final project page

Your final project page should have links to all parts of your project report:

Introduction

Image or animation, Explanation (of method, math, etc), (if an art work),

Text (if an art history project)

Annotated references

Your Missing Homework Score

You need 12 points to pass

if you need more points, here is a bottom-less point bucket

Create an annotated webography of artists using math algorithms

The math must be explicitly from chaos theory or fractal geometry

Form these into web pages on your website, five links per page

For each five links deemed satisfactory by me, you earn one point

Scoring these pages will take place at 10 pm on Monday, June 08
