Senior Project Mentor Letter and Proposal

Professor Carrier,

I am taking Professor Sue Wrbican, Senior Project Class for Spring 2021.

Professor Wrbican stated every student needs a mentor to review their progress of their Senior Project.

ACTION:

I hope you will find the time to accept to be my Senior Project mentor for the Spring 2021.

BACKGROUND:

As you know I am a photography major and I have discussed and receive approval on my Senior Project from Professor Wrbican.

My senior project is called “A Day in a Life.”

I want to follow the format we did back in Spring 2020 Darkroom II course using “Species of Spaces / Especes d’espaces (1974) by Pierre Getzler.

I plan to break my Senior Project into three parts:

PART One (Photographs) I am looking take over 1500 individual digital photographs) using all the knowledge I acquired over the last four years.

“A Day in a Life” outline

a. Wake up

b. Personal Work Out

c. Breakfast

d. Getting Dressed

e. Shopping

f. Lunch

g. Gardening

h. Visiting Neighbors

i. Cocktails/Cordials

j. Cooking the Dinner Meal

k. Dinner

l. Nightly activities

m. Preparing for bed

n. Sleep

Part Two (“A Day in a Life Digital Book)

This book will have 15 – 20 of my best photographs with an individual narrative on the opposite page of the photographs)

Part Three (2 – 5 Minute short video on my senior project, narrated by myself.)

Professor Wrbican stated I will only need your professional guidance four times during the semester.

I was hoping to use your office hours on Wednesday from 12:00 – 2:00 PM for these mentoring sessions.

I promise to have a .pdf of my photograph or You Tube Link for my video progress email to you two days before our meeting.

Also, I plan to upload my progress on my webpage under the title “Senior Project” to give you time to review my progress before our formal progress meetings:
