12/12/18 Introduction to Art

Today's Class- We had our unusual Wednesday meeting today, and I was surprised that most of the students showed up- radical changes to the schedule can be tricky.  Otherwise it was a basic work day.  Started nothing new (I think you all have enough to keep you busy for the rest of the semester) and nothing was specifically due today, though I did collect some things still owed from past weeks.  I also returned graded various things I was still holding and answered many questions regarding the rest of the semester.

How to make this up- Today was mostly students working on their choice of class related assignments, so I saw such things as shoe drawings, bottle still lifes, mosaic collages, mixed media collages (the print thing), color wheels, comic strips, 3D final projects, and museum papers all being worked on. 

Homework- Nothing new, but quite a few students still need to finish some things, projects that are past due, or portfolio exercises that will be graded next week.  The complete list of what is expected as part of the semester portfolio (and the dates on the blog when the specifics can be found) were posted to last week's blog entry and will be there.

The Wednesday is Friday thing is now concluded, so next week we go back to being a Friday class.

For next class 12/21/18- Our last meeting of the semester. We will open with a quick group critique of the 3D Final projects, after which I will check portfolios.  Just bring the whole 18" x 24" pad.  Before the class period ends, they will all be graded and ready to be returned, along with any late arriving comic strip, and the 3D projects.  I will also be accepting the final version of the museum papers, and if students are still around at the end of class, they will be returned graded.  (or they can be left with me and they'll be graded over the break) 

Nothing will be accepted after the official end of the class period, so make sure you are on time for class.
