Today's Class- Today was supposed to be our first meeting of the semester, but obviously that didn't work out. We can move the introductory stuff to next week, but we will also need to start the first project, so have the materials listed below. We'll go over the full list for the semester in class.
Homework- nothing yet
For next class 2/3/15- You will need some bristol board, scissors or an x-acto knife, white glue, and pencils. A roll of masking tape and a small sketchbook are suggested. Bristol board is a type of heavy paper, much stiffer than drawing paper but thinner than illustration board or mat board, about the same weight as watercolor paper, but with a smooth surface. It is designed for drawing, but we will use it at times throughout the semester for construction. The college bookstore carries pads at 9" x 12" and 11" x 14". The website also lists something called posterboard, in 22" x 26" sheets at $.69 each. My other school sells something of the same name, size and price that would also work, so you may want to compare it to the bristol, and if they seem about the same, the posterboard may be a more economical alternative. Three or four sheets should get you through the first week. Most arts and crafts stores should also carry pads of bristol or similar loose paper.
