Praxis Portfolio Project Video Tutorials

Welcome to my Praxis Module 2 Portfolio Project Outline! For this project, I am going to be combining a few different skills into 1 big project.

My original idea was to do simple videos on a popular art challenge called Inktober and although I liked that idea and am still doing the challenge on my own. For my portfolio project, I’ve decided to change the videos into mostly art tutorials instead. This will be slightly more challenging for me but I feel will have better results in the long run.

I want to do a 30-day video challenge. So every day I would upload a new video to my Youtube channel every day for anyone to view. (Tori Peters)

The purpose of this project:

1. Is to build up an actual design portfolio I can use on my website.
2. Is to test a new type of video on my Youtube channel.
3. To use the Youtube analytic system to my advantage and boost my channel views.
4. Add more content to my Youtube channel.
5. Boost my skills as an artist. I will probably need to learn a few new things to make sure I have enough content.
6. Improve and build my video editing and creating explainer video skill.
7. Improve my communication and teaching skills so I am clear to anyone watching.

In the month of October, there are four and a half weeks. Every day I’ll be making adjustments to my work as needed. Here is my game plan for each week.

Week 1 I’ll have finished and uploaded 1 video and drawings to my channel by Sunday the 7th.

Week 2 I’ll have 7 more videos and drawings up by Saturday, October 13th. (Total videos equaling 8)

Week 3 I’ll have 7 more videos finished uploaded and ready to watch by the 20th of October. (Total videos equaling 15)

Week 4 If you hadn’t already guessed this week I’ll be doing 7 more videos and adding them to my youtube content as well. This will be done by the Saturday the 27th. (Total videos equaling 22)

Week 4 ½ I’ll finish  4 videos and have them up by October 31st. (Total videos equaling 26)

In order to finish 30 videos, I’ll probably have to do about 5 of them in November because I didn’t start filming until the 6^th. But I’m okay with that. Unless I can double up some days which I am going to try to do.

This project is going to require consistency. I am excited to challenge myself both artistically and mentally. I believe one of the challenges I’ll face is remembering to film early enough in the day. Another will be internet speeds. We have a lot of people in my house. Finally, I will be using ink and although I have used it erratically I will need to learn new techniques quickly if I want my work to be worth watching. One way I am going to try to help me combat some of these challenges is making a game plan for the next day the night before so I know what I need to get done as soon as I wake up.

For this project, I want to Showcase my determination and creativity. As well as the very valuable skill of being able to clearly communicate using explainer videos. If you are interested in the upcoming videos stay turned for my adventure! I’m excited to learn together!

I will also be posting pictures of my Inktober art on my Instagram @ToriPetersArtist
