Tomorrow's Class
Hello team, in case you didn't know, the in-progress critique will be moved from tomorrow to this Thursday. I suggest that we spend part of tomorrow's class organizing what we will say and show during our presentation, which is going to be 20 minutes long (including time for feedback).
Another bit of information is that I found out when Fritz Dreisbach (visiting artist) is going to be doing his talk on 1962 and it will be next Tuesday at 1pm, so right after our class lets out. Please let me know if you will not be able to help with this!
See you all tomorrow!

REMINDER
Team, this is just a reminder that we are in fact meeting with Jutta (Dr. Page) tomorrow. Instead of driving up there she has agreed that a Skype chat would be just as good, so that is what we will do.
Please come up with any questions we need to ask her by the start of class tomorrow. We will Skype her at 11 so it only gives us thirty minutes to go over what needs to be discussed as a team.
Here are some of the questions that I have come up with, with Heather:
- Script --> Who will be in charge of writing the voice over? Would she like to find someone to do the voice over or should we find someone to do it?
- Will she help us arrange an interview/ head talk, with the mayor? contact for the mayor?
- Brian Kennedy's contact information
-Does she have a logo already made, we have a graphic design student that can make one. If she wants us to have Drew make it what would she like the logo to look like?
-Can we have some contact information for the archivist, Libbey factory, Pilkerton factory, Owens Ill,
:historical: photos of Libbey glass factory,
:Pickerton factory
:1st G.A.S factory
:1952 historic event
:Libbey in Chicago before moving to Toledo
:Owens bottle machine company
:Contempory:
:some kind of cog roadshow
:glass fashion show
-Content for the actual conference... photos, videos we can use?
-List of the artwork from her collection to shoot (maybe send us stills of those, to help with a starting point)
