Hello Guys,
I joined Cognizant recently, the project interview calls which I am getting is not from my base location.
I have the location constraint, should I wait for the right opportunity or raise this concern to ADP team so they can look in to it?
As per ADP policy, one should not have any constraints and take the project as FCFS basis.

Any IDOs you know of or how would you stay informed on airdrops for good projects? Looking at something like Klima that airdropped 100 coins to holders of $1000 NFTs on its launch. Those coins are worth $200,000 now. 200x return in a month. Do you basically need to poke around discords and get lucky?

Sometimes the ‘craft’ lessons are just plain fun! I don’t expect every one of my lessons to hit the ‘art rigor’ nail right on the head. The craft lessons can often act as a review of concepts learned from an ‘art’ lesson. (Review primary/secondary colors, types of lines, texture, etc...) I have found that some parents (and admin) think that the crafty things coming home is an indication of a good art program (☹️!!)
Process is WAY more important than product, but parents and admin usually don’t see the process, so throw them a craft and don’t feel bad about it but also give them lessons that are just pure art and process.
I like to think that all artists are craftspeople, but not all craftspeople are artists. Learning and working towards mastery of the “craft” of the different mediums of Art can be a tedious, repetitive process. Sometimes a “craft project” is a good way to zoom in on particular art-making skills and also makes that learning fun, but it is unlikely for this kind of project to produce something that we teachers, the artist, or a neutral observer would call Art unless of course some personal meaning was struck by that project. It’s why I design my students experiences to be fairly open ended as far as the content that they produce, while I focus on teaching the skills that will allow for their personal expressions to be realized.
I think it’s easy to avoid the lower aspects of craft by simply considering outcome: will all the projects look alike? Abort that mission.
Seek open ended activities that allow for individual interpretation rather than step by step, standard outcomes.
Example: Mandalas
Students can work from a template that divides the space of a radial into 8 pie slices with 6-8 concentric rings. Examples of geometric and organic patterns can be prior assignments then used to create a sort of inventory for students to use if they are struggling to create their own. ( Many aspects come into play that hit benchmarks :
Radial design, positive and negative space, line, pattern, color, even cultural background of Indian mandalas).
always connect it to an artist, art history, or a state standard! sometimes I love doing cutesy pinterest crafts in my classes. as long as its connected somehow to my curriculum I feel comfortable.
As a potter I can relate to your frustration. 'Unpack' your state standards, sometimes a quick reflection of the goals and targets helps. include what the craft is about, where did it come from,... history, content and context, audience etc. many simple projects can actually hit upon many standards. Don't be bullied by Math, Science and Eng. they are core, we are fun.
