12/9/10 2D Design

Today's Class- Tonight we critiqued the mixed media collage projects and a few late arriving limited palettes projects at the beginning of class. Students spent the rest of the time working on a variety of projects- many worked on the final project, while others chose to work on back projects they still owe.

Homework- The final project (transforming book or board game) is due at the beginning of class next week December 16, 2010. Because that is our last class meeting of the semester, it is also the last chance to get any late projects graded. There are still a few students who haven't yet turned in the season temperature collage, limited palettes project, and/or the mixed media collage. Partial credit is better than none at all.

Semester Portfolio- Next week I'll also be grading the semester portfolio, all the artwork that hasn't been individually graded. If you haven't missed any classes this semester, you should be all caught up, but if you need a reminder of what I'll be expecting to see, check out the following list with the dates that you'll find the descriptions on the blog:

Sep 16 Wall paper patterns with dots

For next class 12/16/10- Our final meeting of the semester. We will critique the Final Projects and any other back work that is brought in, all projects and portfolios will be graded and returned by the end of the class. Bring all your semester's art work. No art supplies will be necessary.
