notes other students video ideas

Sarah
The topic was on Light Up Night with a focus on the fireworks on Friday. It is hard to tell what the exact topic is from the beginning, because the way that it is set up it could be just the Cathedral or Light Up Night. There needs to be some kind of transition from the Cathedral history to Light Up Night and how they are connected. Also, provide a lead in sentence to the topic and history of the Cathedral.
Gill
The topic is very interesting with the focus on music, but what exactly is the project saying about Pittsburgh? Maybe use music from local artists around the area and use more than four volunteers so there is a variety to pick from for the video.
Ariel
Try and find a commonly tattooed cultural aspect of Pittsburgh to help tie in the idea of tattooing and culture. Also, talk about why tattoos are considered taboo and then back up your point of why they should not be taboo.
Julie
Try and find specific examples of the artists and artworks on the sides of buses. Also, try and explain where the idea for the bus art came from and how it affects the city.
Colleen
The topic was the Silver Eye Center for Photography with a focus on the history and cultural signifigance. Provide specific examples of other artist who have been featured in the center, and talk about the local artists who have been in the center. Explain why a local artist is always featured in the center.
Jenna
The Doors of Oakland Public Art Project is a great topic to focus on art in Pittsburgh. An idea would be to focus on the history of one door design and explain how this history parallels with the other doors. Also this might help condense some of the information, instead of focusing on the overall history and explaining each door.
Alejandro
Provide some connection between the billboards and the culture of downtown Pittsburgh. Maybe find out if only local artists worked on the billboards or if artists from all over were commissioned to create the billboards.
