  3. Narrative ArcWRITE YOUR THESIS DESIGNER/ARTIST’S STATEMENT USING 9 POINTS OF INTEREST

  4. TWO SENTENCE PITCH XXX Problem/Problematic (Context-Role) XXX I am claiming that my thesis -- describe project (Concept) in a few short words XXX I am working with……to test my prototypes and their efficacy (Contribution)—or I am evoking a new way of understanding?

  5. The STORY of your Thesis DESIGN/ARTISTIC PROCESS for ITERATIVE PROTOTYPING Problem Statement
Analyze the Problem
Research the context and precedents for solutions
Study the research and redefine (make distinctions) the problem
Objectify the problem in a prototype (experience or object-LOOK AND FEEL, ROLE IN THE PARTICIPANT’S LIFE, OR IMPLEMENTATION-triangulate) remember to make a list of time and resources that is required for the production of your prototype.
Notice how prototype works with an audience or user group
Study and evaluate the prototype’s success or failure
–the cycle begins all over again by a redefinition of the problem with further distinctions that define the problem in an even more focused way. Unfortunately we are humans living on earth and we are bound to time. The resource of time is always in limited supply but it often helps us to focus our problem more narrowly so that we can achieve a final product. In our case, we have to fit within the parameters of the 15 week semester.
