12/13/10 2D Design

Today's Class- We started with a critique of the limited palettes project. After that, the rest of the class period was spent working on a variety of projects. Most worked on the Final Project due next week, but some used the time to catch up on some back projects.

Final Grading- Next week will be the final grading day for the semester. That includes the Final Project, any late graded projects, the museum papers, and the semester portfolio. Here's what we did this semester and where on the blog the instructions can be found:

Graded Projects-

Sep 20 Stipple drawing

Oct 4 Contour Line Still Life

Oct 25 Value Drawing with Charcoal

Woodcut Book Illustration

Nov 15 Color Temperature Collage

Nov 22 Limited Color Palettes

Dec 6 Final Project (Book/Board Game)

Semester Portfolio-

Sep 20 Dot wallpaper patterns

Sep 27 Contour Line exercises (shoes)

Negative space exercises (chair/bottles)

Oct 18 Charcoal Value Drawings (vine/compressed)

Nov 8 Color Wheel/Complement Mix/Tints and Shades

Nov 29 Color Still Life Painting

Homework- The Final (Book) Project is due December 20, 2010, but if there is anything else on the above lists that you haven't finished yet, get it done by next week as well. Museum papers must be printed out. No work will be accepted after the class is dismissed.

For next class 12/20/10- Final Grading day. I would like to see the previously graded projects (not to grade again, just to see your progress over the semester), but I definitely need to see the portfolio projects, the Final Project, and back graded projects and museum papers from those who haven't turned them in yet. We will critique the Final Project, and everything else will be graded and returned by the end of class.
