Welcome to the Spring 2008 Semester
Welcome to the blog I set up for my class sections.
The blog will be for both of my classes. To make it easier to find what you're looking for, the entries will be color coded. The posts intended for my Intro to Art class (FA 1000 Sec 12 9:30-12:20) will use red text. The posts for my 2D Design class (FA 2402 Sec 02 5-10:20pm) will use blue text. Posts that apply to both classes (such as this one) will be with black text. About a month's worth of postings will be available on the main page, while earlier postings can be accessed by using the blog archive at the right.
Most weeks I will post late Tuesday night or early Wednesday. Headings for each post will contain the date and name of the class. I will include what we did in class that day, what (if any) homework has been assigned, and whatever materials are needed for the next class meeting. When applicable and available, I'll photos of examples of current projects and homework will be included.
Certainly you should stop by this blog should you miss a class, but it's also available to students who just need a reminder of what materials they need to bring, or when projects or assignments are due. These are the most common questions I have gotten from students between meetings and the answers can be found here 24/7 without having to wait for me to reply e-mail. Should you have further questions about anything you find here, I recommend that you e-mail me directly, rather than post a comment here.
