12/12/16 2D Design

Today's Class- The threat of winter weather never quite materialized, so class went on as usual.  Unlike every other meeting this semester, we didn't start anything new.  We did have a group critique of the limited palettes projects, some of which were very impressive.  And some students worked on back projects, or the Final Project due next week.

Homework- The Final Project (art historical board game) is due at the beginning of class on December 19, 2016.  

If you have not yet turned in the museum paper or any back graded projects, next week is your last chance to turn them in to be graded for partial credit.  No work will be accepted after the end of class that day.

For next class 12/19/16- The main focus will be presenting and critiquing the Final Projects.  I will also be accepting and grading any back projects that arrive.  We will not be starting any new assignments, so no art materials are necessary, but if there is still something you need to work on for the class and want to take advantage of the tables and large space, you have the class period to use.   On this day I will also be giving the 2D Assessment test.  Not part of your grade (don't bother to put your name on the form), but they do want to see what kind of stuff you have learned.  Multiple choice- shouldn't take long.

On this day I will also be grading the semester portfolio, all the things done in class that were not individually graded.  After everyone has presented their board games, you will all need to disappear for a little while (study, eat, or whatever) while I quickly grade the Final Projects and the Semester Portfolio- all the things you did in class that weren't individually graded.  I will let you know at what time you can return to pick up your work and learn the grades of all the things you turned in that day. Here is a list of what I'll be expecting and where on this blog you can find it:

9/19/16-  Wallpaper with dots
9/26/16- Contour lines- shoes, chair (negative space), bottles
10/10/16- Value still life (vine, compressed charcoal)
10/31/16- Color Wheel/Complement mix/Tints and shades
11/7/16- Text (Russian words) and Logo
11/21/16- Color Still Life painting

As for the graded projects, they are also all on the blog if you need to see them again.  If it's been graded, you don't need to bring them back again.
