Workshop 1

Today Helga and I had a successful workshop at HPAC with 8 students. We shared our powerpoint and did some activities with the students. In the powerpoint we discussed the project and why it is important. We also talked about journalism and how to design and conduct an interview. Then we played two examples of artist interviews and asked the students what they thought about them.

Everyone was really excited and enthusiastic about sharing their opinions on the examples. The students liked when the interview had music playing in the background and when the camera was closer to the artist. Lastly, we practiced interviewing each other with the questions the students came up with last week.

Helga took some pictures of the students which will be posted. For next week we will learn how to set up and work with video and recording equipment, and the students will practice interviewing a teaching artist from HPAC. Also we talked about getting the students involved with the blog.
