1/21/14 3D Design

Today's Class- Today was the first meeting of the semester for our class.  Despite the winter weather, most of the students on the roster were able to make it in.  With snow already falling and more on the way, we kept it short and to the point.  I distributed the syllabus and reviewed its contents with the class.  Then I had the class fill out a survey of their art backgrounds, which we discussed as a class.  I used the same form to talk about my own background in art, including three dimensional.

How to make this up-  Students who missed today's class should just come next week, assuming we don't have another Tuesday snowstorm.  (it has snowed on the last three Tuesdays of the spring and fall semesters)  

Homework-  Nothing yet.

For next class 1/28/14- We will start our study of three dimensional design.  I will discuss some of the basic principles, and we will begin the first project of the semester.  Bring a sketchbook and pencils, three full size (about 18" x 24") sheets of bristol board or the equivalent amount of smaller sheets, scissors or x-acto knife, and white glue.  Masking tape may be helpful for holding things together during the gluing process.
