Getting Started
- The first important step before starting a Passion Project is to Identify What You Want to Do.
- Then Isolate a Concept such as:
I'm interested in furthering my photography skills and want to start a portfolio website.
I want to learn and create video illusions like Zach King.
I would like to pursue a focused project on stop motion animation.
- Brain Storm, Mind Map and/ or write down key things you want to accomplish with your project.
Stage 1- Planning
- Create a rough plan and submit it to your teacher.
- This plan should include a 1-2 paragraph description of your project.
- Create a Schedule or Calendar that will outline key dates (deadlines for yourself). Think of this as setting benchmark target dates to keep yourself on track.
- Develop a "Work in Progress Report" every 2-3 weeks.
