This presentation was an interesting project. It was much different than a usual essay, however, that did not make it easier. Putting together photographs in the form of an essay is not a skill that I have ever used before. Creating a "story" with photographs is a complicated task, especially when we also have the task of developing our own topic, which can be any array of themes.
In addition to taking and arranging our own photographs, the presentation itself presented another task. This was the first presentation that I have ever done that required me to be extremely concise. It is usually the exact opposite, where as much information as possible is best. I realize that the method we used for this project is much more effective for both the audience and the presenter. It forces the presenter to chose there words carefully, and make sure their points are concise, this also allows for the audience to be less likely to lose interest in the presentation.
There were also a number of themes that I had not even considered when I was choosing my theme. Themes like, steps, benches, lampposts, or the contrasts of art and its effect on us. These different themes gave me a different perspective on public art. The concise nature of the presentations also made it much easier to understand the core of the theme, and make it interesting.
