Hey Everyone!
Well I'm finally a Senior so that means I have to do a Senior Project! Yeay!
I was thinking of doing a project relating to the Career I want, but I decided if I'm going to be doing that for the rest of my life I might as well do a senior project on something I really want to do and I think making a set of armor would be a good project.
Thing is I have no clue what I'm doing and apparently have to have a mentor for my senior project so I was wondering if there are any experienced armor makers in the Seattle area who could "mentor" me in how to make a set of armor, show me the process, teach me the required skills, etc.
As long as you can Size, Resin, Fiberglass, Bondo and Paint I think you'd count as an "expert" in terms of the mentor requirements.
Thanks,
Peter "MW Immortalking"
Choosing a Field Expert
What Is A Field Advisor?
Each student is required to have a field advisor throughout the course of the project.
A Field Advisor is a community member who is recognized for his or her expertise in one or more of the major components of the student’s culminating project. The Field Advisor provides role modeling, field advice, and/or possible career connections for the student. After the project has ended, the field expert also will be required to complete a Field Advisor Evaluation Form.
A Field Advisor may be someone with whom you consult one time, someone you meet with more than once while you are working on your project, or someone with whom you meet consistently and often through your project. You even may have more that one Field Advisor with whom you worked on your project.
