Community Story Interview Portfolio and Oil Pastel Visual Narrative
Each student creates an interview evidence portfolio, interviewee-approved summary, affinity map, design brief, thumbnails, color study, critique records, revised oil pastel drawing, and artist statement. The portfolio traces how firsthand evidence and feedback informed the final visual story of culture, journey, community, and belonging.
Community Stories Hallway Gallery and Audience Interpretation Presentation
Teams synthesize individual interview insights into a shared audience-centered curatorial statement, collaboratively design and test a hallway gallery section, and present how arrangement, labels, and individual artworks communicate community diversity and belonging. Teams use interviewee approval, peer critique, and visitor-response protocols to revise the exhibition before public display.
