Today's Class- Getting near the end now, so nothing new was started today, but we looked at some recent student work, and students worked on their 3D final project or on some back exercises from the portfolio.
Students who had not yet received their randomly assigned topics for the 3D project selected them today, some museum papers were evaluated, and the schedule for next week was discussed. Collagraph plates turned in today will be printed and returned at our next meeting.
How to make this up- Students who still have not received their assigned topic for the 3D project may want to e-mail me and request options, or they can wait and randomly draw them in class next week.
****Semester Portfolio****
Here is the list of all the work that will be expected of each student as part of the semester portfolio. If you missed no classes, you have it done or at least started. If you're not sure, here's where you can find it on this blog. Anything not on the home page can be found through the archive section.
Feb 1 Contour Line (shoes)
Feb 8 Negative Space (chair, bottles)
Feb 15 Value Drawing (charcoal)
Feb 22 Mosaic Collage (magazine colors)
Mar 1 Color Theory (wheel, mix)
Mar 8 Photography
Mar 22 Rhythm (music)
Mar 28 Collagraph (cardboard prints)
Apr 5 2D Final (comic strip)
Apr 12 Collagraph with collage
Apr 26 Two point perspective (corner)/ 3D Final project
Everything but the 2D and 3D Final projects are part of the portfolio grade and can be made up for full credit any time before the end of the semester.
Homework- Nothing new, but those who have not yet turned in their comic strip or their museum paper rough draft should do so as soon as possible, as these are individually graded projects and longer delays have bigger penalties.
All work for the semester must be turned in by the end of class on May 10, 2019. No work will be accepted after that.
For next class 5/7/19- Next week is our unusual university designed schedule with two class meetings. We start with a Tuesday meeting, because Kean will be following a Friday schedule on Tuesday May 7, 2019. Come to class at the same time as you would on Friday. The class will also meet at the regular time on Friday May 10, 2019, which will be our last meeting of the semester. Work can be turned in before then, but must be in by the end of the last class to receive credit.
You may use the time to work on anything related to the class, so bring in any materials that you need to work on your 3D final, or make up a portfolio exercise, or whatever you need to do for the class. We won't be starting anything new.
