Final Update (Fall)

 Hello! This will be my final update for the fall, and I am happy with all the progress I made this semester!

It's really cool to see all the progress I’ve made behind the scenes, and now I have a clear plan for the spring semester. 

I will also be working with Dr. Deckers' fossil collection this upcoming spring, and I'll be doing some interesting work related to my overall topic, which I am really excited to share more details about when spring arrives.

Overall, it's been a great but tiring semester, but all of the hard work is starting to pay off!

Can't wait for the spring!

Final Fall Semester Update | Bella Paniccia

It's the end of the semester, and over the past 15 weeks, I've made ample progress with all things thesis-related. I've solidified my topic, which is examining methods of exhibiting and preserving performance art and time-based media. I feel like I am in a good place in terms of my sources, planning the structure of my thesis out, and getting organized in general for next semester. Over break, I plan to continue finding sources and organizing them in terms of content that could be useful for each of my sections. 

Overall, I  am excited for the semester to end and to have somewhat of a break, eager to make more progress (maybe that's just the Capricorn in me).

Christis - Last Update of the Semester

 Hi everyone!  The semester seems to have drawn to a close!  I've enjoyed my time spent in this class and I've learned so much!  I'm rather happy with the progress I've made with my research project and I honestly can't wait to see what will happen next Semester.

 I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!  See you all next year! :D 

Final Fall Update

Hey Everyone, 

I am happy to report that now that the thesis proposal has been submitted, the fun work can begin! I have thoroughly enjoyed doing the preliminary writing and peer editing this semester, but I am very excited to start interviewing and putting together designs and ideas for my exhibition! 

The next steps that I am preparing for are scheduling interviews with various museum education professionals, as well as choosing which RIT public art pieces I would like to focus on. The next couple of weeks will consist of writing my to-do list and organizing all of my thoughts and ideas.

Excited to have a break from classes, but also excited to see all our ideas come to life!

Here is a sneak peek of one of my favorite RIT public art pieces at the moment, entitled " Growth and Youth" by Josef Albers. 

See you guys later,

Progress Update #4

Hi everyone!

I finally solidified my thesis concept! It's going to consist of three parts in three different locations; a pop-up exhibit at the Refinery, a runway show at RIT, and an exhibit in the RIT library, all in February. I have a lot to do before then like creating graphics for the runway, getting models for the show, sourcing clothing pieces and more, but I'm really excited for the whole thing to piece together. Everything still feels a bit daunting, but I know that if I get a good amount done/planned out during winter break, it should be smooth sailing from there. See you next year!

More styling inspo!

Christis Shepard - Update

As the end of the semester begins the rush of finals and final projects has begun to take center stage.  I've been working on my Thesis Project and pushing through burnout and other school work.  I'm getting there!

 The plan currently is to finish the Final Thesis Proposal, work on my thesis alongside a virtual exhibition next semester!  I'm excited! I can't wait to see what happens after this! 

Week 12 - What's Next?

 Hello again,

I've learned a lot about myself these past few months, not only as a student, but as an individual and professional. I also need to give my Dad a call and let him know he was right all along about me. I am head strong ("hard headed" in his words), determined, and unyielding, and it shows in what influences my work. 

I continue to make edits in my paper, timeline, and more research on how to execute my exhibition now that I know what the space will entail. Eventually I'll make my way to the gallery space and take photos so I can digitally render some examples and see what works best. 

There are so many more things to get done but having a timeline and outline to work by has been extremely helpful. Also knowing that everyone else is at the same stage as myself has eased some of my anxieties of falling behind. 

It's all going according to plan, even if it feels like chaos.

Keep going...

Another Update (Progress!)

 I'm back, pushing through, and have completed my proposal, but it still needs revision. 

I'm still chipping away at the entire project and brainstorming how to complete it. But, I will be taking advantage of the one-on-one meetings with Dr. Decker this upcoming Thursday to go over my ideas for the outcome of this thesis project!

I'm looking forward to completing this project and to seeing where it takes me!
