Today's class- Today we looked at slides of art that dealt with issues of narrative (story telling) and symbolism. We also looked at all the photos from the photography assignment. The first graded art project of the semester, a personal narrative in the form of a comic strip, was discussed.
.
How to make this up- The assignment is to tell a true story from your life using symbolic characters to represent yourself and others in the story. Above are several examples from previous semesters. Today students were asked to consider what story they want to depict and what kinds of symbols they want to use.

Homework- This graded project will be due at the beginning of class on December 2, 2009. Students will be given time in class next week to work on the project while the collographs that we started last week are printed. Those who did not bring photos this week should bring them to class next week.
.
For next class 11/18/09- Bring your 18"x24" pad, pencil, paper, and pastels. Also bring your completed collograph plate. (I'll provide the ink and tools to print it) While individual collographs are printed everyone else will work on the comic strip project.
