# Project Proposal

**Project Proposal Guide**

**Total suggested wordcount**: 500

**Things to Include (not necessarily in this order):**

1\.        **Major themes** of your work (ideas, aesthetic sensibilities, other artworks, things you want it to look or feel like)

2\.        **Conceptual framework** (what are the *theoretical* ideas behind your project, why you’re doing what you’re doing, what’s the bigger concept behind it)

3\.        **Title of your proposed project**—if you know it yet, just feel free to put a guess or TBA, or also go with “Untitled”

4\.        **What software or other methods**, including analog, you’re thinking about using.

5\.        **Exhibition ideas** if you have any at this point

6\.        **Influences**: other artists, texts, films, etc.

7\.      **Bibliography: List three relevant sources, which can include texts we’ve read in our class. Reserve images and other visual material for your Project Moodboard.**

 

This project proposal is intended to give us a framework for your 2 on 1 meeting, but also for you as you work toward your final project for exhibition. Think of it as a plan of action going forward, but know you can always change it at any time after too!
