12/11/19 Introduction to Art

Today's Class- Today was a weird day, between the Wednesday schedule and the snowy start, but about half of each class showed up. Nothing new started today, but several students were able to turn in things that were late, some selected their topics for the 3D project, others worked on writing their museum papers, completed missing portfolio exercises, submitted course evaluations, or even just verified what needed doing over the next few days.

How to make this up- Looking back through this blog you should be able to see what you have missed, and I would hope you know what you haven't done yet.  Last Friday I listed the contents of what is expected in the portfolio (appears in blue text to make it stand out), and all the major assignments are listed as they were started.

Homework- Nothing new, but keep in mind that everything needs to be in by the end of your class on Friday.  The main things that the grades for this class come from are the two major projects (comic strip- 2D, and sculpture 3D), the semester portfolio (listed last week) and the museum papers.  All can be turned in on Friday. Things that are late will lose points for that reason, but it's better than a zero.  The final museum paper and 3D project are due on Friday, so if they are in, they are on time.  If you have any excuse notes covering any absences, bring them on Friday. Once class ends, nothing will be accepted.

For next class December 13, 2019- Our last meeting of the semester.  There will be a group critique of the final 3D project and you'll learn that grade. I will review the portfolios and can let you know your grade for that.  I'll collect final museum papers- grading those may take a few days.  Anything else that comes in will be dealt with.  Be on time- the sooner we start, the sooner we will finish.
