Concepts and Strategies: Project 2 Documentation, and Process

Theses are images of screen shots of my project 2 presentation. It was a PowerPoint presentation with video and audio with comparison of prehistoric Terror Birds and modern Parrots. I used found photos and educational videos on Terror Birds and home footage with educational video on parrots. The home made video of the parrots are one that I have taken of my bird and other people with with parrots. I am not sure how I can attach a PowerPoint to the Blogger, so these are some screen shots of the video.

This was the second project development--zoo of the artist

All of my documentation and process of the project has been documented in a designated sketchbook for this project. My project went through a series of a few changes. My original project was a human bird cage store, then it changed to the artist in a zoo to their medium, to the terror bird parrot comparison. Here are a few photos of some pages in the sketchbook, in order from the process of the work. There are some pages that have photos you can flip and see under it, so there are quite a few things that are not visible.

This was the first project idea--human bird cage pet shop

This is a photo of the new calendar and project sheet written after the talk with Erin.

This was a photo of Mario Muntis and his parrots (a species called Budgies) with notes.

This is a photo of some of my personal research scanned for the project sketchbook, and the idea of modern Terror Bird comparisons.

After talking to Erin, I decided to use the research I was already collecting out of personal interest and something I had more of a passion in for this project.
