Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts (03M485) [SPECIALIZED HS]
LaGuardia has a technical theater program based in skills and technique. Students study carpentry, electrics, costuming, stage management, and design. Students must complete industry production work as part of the Career and Technical Education (CTE) program.
Create a model/diorama, drawings, or mood-board collage that shows the world of the play and the characters who inhabit the world. Select ONE scene from EITHER "Dracula" by Hamilton Dean and John Balderson (1924), "A Raisin in the Sun" by Lorraine Hansberry, OR "The Crucible" by Arthur Miller. You may also consider scenes from a play by Paul Sills called "Story Theatre" which is derived from stories and fables by the Grimm Brothers and Aesop.
You may use any combination of the methods suggested to share your ideas visually.
Photographs
Upload 1-4 photographs of your model/diorama, drawings, or mood-board collage.
If creating a model/diorama: 4 photographs of the model from different angles. One must be from the front showing the whole piece you are presenting. Others should enable the judges to see details and perspective of your work.
If creating a sketch and/or collage: 1 photograph of each of the images you created (please avoid shadows in your photo).
Video 1: Present your design through 2-3 minute recorded presentation. Be sure to include the following:
Introduce yourself by stating your name as it appears in your MySchools.nyc account along with your OSIS number.
Describe the world you have create explaining the choices you have made. See Document for guiding questions/ideas to consider while working on your creation
Show the work with as much detail as you can. If presenting a model, be sure to include photos or video of views from the front, from the audience level, and include side views.
Try to complete your full video in one seamless take. Note: your videography quality will not play a part in scoring.
Section 2: Providing Directions
Video 2: Create and upload a two-minute video in which you describe step-by-step how you assembled/completed something.
You will be evaluated on your thought process for multi-step directions considering clarity, efficiency, and attention to detail. For example, you might describe getting ready for your school day, getting lunch in the school cafeteria, assembling a piece of furniture, baking your favorite cookie, taking your neighbor's dog for a walk, or doing a load of dishes in a dishwasher. Please note these are only examples; you may choose to describe anything that shows your mastery of that activity and your engagement with it.
Introduce yourself by stating your name as it appears in your MySchools.nyc account along with your OSIS number before speaking about your step-by-step process.
Please use hands-on materials like media or props in your presentation, showing or demonstrating actions whenever possible.
