So Much To Do In Week 3

What We Accomplished This Week
Macey and I (Julia) have completed a few things this week. We have contacted Mrs. Turner about our desire to host an art gallery in the South Campus Conference Center (SCC). Mrs. Turner works in the Business Office at Franklin Road Academy. Macey and I (Julia) also updated our proposal for this project. Our proposal consists of specific information about My Perfect Picture and a week by week timeline. The timeline we have created keeps us on track since it states what we need to accomplish each week.
What We Are Working On Now
Currently, Macey and I (Julia) are waiting upon Mrs. Turner’s response to see if and when we will be able to host our art gallery in the South Campus Conference Center (SCC). The SCC is located on Franklin Road Academy’s campus. We are also in the process of creating our own Flickr account. This week, we discussed our goals for this project with our former history teacher, Mr. Jones. Last spring, Macey and I (Julia) signed up for Mr. Jones's photography interim and this is where we learned many of the techniques we will be using for this project. He recommended we create our own account on the site (https://www.flickr.com/) and post samples of our photographs on a regular basis. The reason why we have decided to follow through with making a Flickr account is for us to receive feedback on the photographs we have posted from those who share their opinion. Make sure to keep up with our blog posts to get the link to our Flickr account so you can view some of the pieces that will be displayed in our art gallery!

What We Plan To Do Next
Once Macey and I (Julia) decide on the date of our art gallery, we will create the flyers we plan on putting up around the Nashville area. On these flyers, we will include the day, time, place, and some way to contact us if they would like to RSVP. Macey and I (Julia) hope to get together with our mentor, Miss Billi-Cate, sometime over Christmas break to develop more skills on photo taking and editing. Lastly, we will need to contact East Nashville Hope Exchange and arrange a time when we can volunteer to help with the kids after school.
