Presentation 1 Summary
Leonardo projects -- we'll have flyers/materials available and sample copies of the journal. Perhaps Jon has some materials to present related to the Leonardo special issue/DVD project?
We also will have a drawing for some free Leonardo stuff -- e.g. a free book from the Leonardo series or a free subscription to Leonardo. (great suggestion from Meredith!)
Presentation 2 Summary
Jon Phillips' DVD class will present their work.
