Today's Class- Checked progress on the latest block and we discussed some possible plans for it. I showed a few older pieces from the early to mid 90's. One was internationally known woodcut master Tom Huck's second ever print.
The other was a piece from early in my MFA program using an unusual procedure for printing. Not something I am advocating, but something that could prove useful. As requested, I gave advice regarding ink cans and related materials. Reviewed a student artist statement as part of the wrapping up of the semester.
Homework- Need to see the revised artist statement by early next week so I can calculate the final grades for the semester.
Today's Class- Our final meeting of the semester. We opened by looking at the 3D final projects, then I moved on to grading the portfolios. I also returned most of the papers and comic strips that I had been carrying around. Most students came back to pick up their work. Unclaimed work was left in the classrooms.
Homework- None of that, with the class done and no new work being accepted. A few late arriving papers were turned in during class- these will be graded over the next few days as class grades are due by the middle of next week.
Enjoy the summer.
Today's Class- We looked at progress on the latest block, as well as a mixed media piece. Alternate approaches to relief printing were discussed, along with plans for the eventual exhibition.
Next week- Our final meeting of the semester. I expect to see a more finished version of an artist statement/exhibition statement, and we'll discuss plans for the summer.
Today's Class- Today was a general work day. Some students brought materials and worked on their 3D final project. Some used the time to work on other class assignments, things from the portfolio that is due next week. More comic strips and museum papers were collected, and some of the previously submitted ones were returned. We had the last slide show of the semester, a very brief overview covering 15,000 years of sculpture in a mere 40 slides. A few students who had missed last week received the topic for their 3D final project.
How to make this up- Details about the 3D final can be found in last week's blog post. If you still don't have your topic, e-mail me and I'll select if for you.
Homework- Next week is our last meeting of the semester, so anything that you have not turned in yet must be in for next week if you wish to receive credit, such as museum papers, or excuse notes, and the two individually graded projects.
For next class 5/12/17- As part of our final meeting, I will be reviewing all the work in the semester portfolio- which is all the previously ungraded art assignments from this semester.
