The presentation workshop is the next step in this module.  An example of a Petcha Kutcha PowerPoint Presentation sets up the standard I will need to achieve.  

The question of what is a Petcha Kutcha Powerpower asked by yours truly. The answer is a Power Point with 20 slides with uniformed timings set for 2o seconds. 

A fellow student kindly suggested looking at Internet tutorials that explain the process.  Please accept my thanks for your helpful suggestion.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGVCKCn6jBc

Artist Statement

                                                       Artwork Title: Layers of Positivity
                                                    Art Medium: Textile and Mixed Media

 HIV Alive and Well Brief theme is layered with positivity. Each layer of positivity supports the holistic health and spiritual wellbeing of each life. The positivity of each layer of 25 years campaigning for global support for World Aids Day is symbolised by the many layers of textile and mixed media art mediums in this artwork.

The layer of positivity that improves all our holistic health and spiritual well-being from walking together on life’s journey reflected with a layer of cotton material. The layer of cotton material has an image transfer layer of photographic imagery of Larbert Woodland walk within the grounds of Forth Valley Hospital. The layers of golden gutta words of positivity give positive perspective layer to health and well-being. A positive perspective for holistic health and well-being echoed in the artwork’s audio layer of reiki music positivity. The positivity of the red ribbon layer wore by each person in support of World Aids Day layers positivity within their community is symbolised by the layer of hand stitched iconic shaped red ribbon. The layered positivity of community support to the issues of HIV and to a person living with HIV metaphorically reflected in the artwork with a layer of colour muslin texture bonded onto tree leaves.

This is a small step into the digital world.   A giant leap into social media digital universe needs the assistance of ground control with  social media internet classes.

The alternative social media site of blog world will attempt to put 25 photographic images representing the positive layers of the 25 years support in the community for World Aids Day.

 The blog site may not like having 25 photographic images so this may not end well for me or the blog.  Just as well the project’s nearly finished.
