          • 7:30 PM Artist Panel - mandatory
          • 8:00 PM Dismissal
        • A mandatory spoken & visual art presentation of the events, people, and places that have made YOU the person that you are (performed in front of a live audience.)
        • Professional dress required (dress shirts, no logos, no hats, no holes, no jeans, your best shoes. Suits & dresses look nice but are not required)
        • To receive any credit you must stay for the entire presentation, through the artist panel and dismissal
      • Why:
        • Explore the reflective thinking we’ve been doing in DLE and Advisory about WHY we are the person that we are. 
        • Showcase our technical and artistic Keynote skills
        • Practice our presentation & public speaking skills
      • Requirements:
        • Total EVENTS (some events may take more than one slide to convey correctly, all events must be "high-quality" with a purpose & enough detail to effectively convey why it made or makes you the person you are today)
          • 10+  to qualify for a "B
            • You have approximately 85 minutes per slide of class time if you are attempting a "B"

          • Utilize complex timings to coordinate multiple animations

        • To get full credit ALL Slides will
