Midterm Screencast

Introduction

Hi, my name is Alexia and I want to become an artist. I'm studying in visual arts in Cegep de Saint-Hyacinthe. I love arts since I was young, and I do some since a while ago.

There are moments when I am inspired to create a lot of projects and other times, I have to work my brains out to find a single idea. As I know myself, this will not change so soon. To keep me informed of the latest artistic tendencies or to inspire me with an artist, I will use the Art 21 website.

I hate draws and I'm not perfect. I can't draw something what it makes sense

I refer to the artists I find on the platform Art 21, google, Pinterest.

My goal is to show you why I will use this website, explain why I need this site, show you how to use this website.

I want to you listen carefully because this website is complicated to use when we don't know how to do

At the end of the presentation, you will know how to use the Art 21 website

The Problem

Imagine me, as an artist, not knowing what I will do for my work of art. Imagine the city of Montreal offer to me a big amount of money to make a big sculpture in the downtown. I can't refuse because it gives an important mention in the world of art, but I don't even know what I will do

I can't do the project because I don't have idea

I need to find an idea to create a big project, and I won't be paid for my work. I can't live without the money because art is my job

I will take my computer and go on the ART21 website. This website gives a lot of information on the artistic world.

The Quest

Go to the website, use a computer and go on the search engine you will use. Example you take Google Chrome. In the URL space, tap art21.org and the website will open automatically.
