Today's Class- By now you should know that I decided by around 9:00 am this morning to cancel today's class meeting. I really do not like to cancel class meetings, especially because this means losing two weeks in a row, but after looking at weather and traffic reports beginning at 6:00 this morning, I felt that this was for the best for everyone, at least everyone who commutes. Things were just starting to change over to rain, but as I made the decision an Ice Storm Warning was still in effect and roads were still dangerous, all NJ Transit trains were either late or suspended, multiple regional highways were partially or completely blocked by downed trees and power lines or storm related flooding, and parts of Union County were without electricity. Things were expected to improve by our expected start time, but without knowing for sure, I decided that conditions were not worth the risk when there's plenty of time left in the semester to make up the missed work.
How to make this up- I will look at the course outline and let everyone know in class next week what adjustments will be made to the original plan from the syllabus.
Homework- None, but anyone who has not yet purchases the photocopied packet produced by the department for this class should bring $3 to purchase one from me next week.
For next class 2/9/11- Once again we will try to do the Contour line exercise that was originally planned for Week 2. So bring your 18" x 24" pad of drawing paper, pencils and eraser. You will also need a shoe to draw from, so either bring an extra one with you or be prepared to remove one from your own foot.
We will also discuss the museum assignment (due by the end of the semester) and the research assignment that was to have been distributed today.
