Subject: [Wyewood] Arts and Sciences Champion Information

Interested in competing to be Wyewood's Arts and Sciences Champion? This format designed by our current champion m'lady Sybil is great for artisan at any level and especially for those who participated at Atheneum!

“Before and After” Wyewood Champions A&S 2019

This year I would like to encourage participation in the Arts and Sciences by having the artisan place their project on the continuum of their own work.

The Artisan will display progress in their own art or science creation(s) during their learning process. This could be comprised of: comparing an early item you made of a particular type with the most recent (early project can be represented as a photograph or description if you do not have the physical item, or if it is a process); or the process of creating something for the first time based on your research. It should be accompanied by an analysis of your improvements and progress in making the object or process as documentably historical as you can. Challenges and setbacks and how you work with them are especially valuable in the artisan’s progress! After all, the C in SCA is for Creative! Consider including analysis of how a current Middle Ages inhabitant would interact with this product or process and why it would be significant to them.

The criteria for a display are somewhat open-ended: find a visual manner to convey your information to your audience. All displays should be accompanied by a write-up of your documentation. Consider a traditional essay form with introduction to the subject matter, paragraphs to introduce and analyze your key evidence, and conclusion(s) to communicate the key significance of your evidence. The sources should be documented in a bibliography; pick any standard bibliographic form you like as long as you use it consistently throughout.

Here are some suggestions written by others for how to organize your paper and your research:
