5/5/11 2D Design

Today's Class- Other than filling out the class evaluation forms and looking at a few late arriving collage projects, the class period was devoted to working on the Board Game final project.

Semester Portfolio- Next week as part of the final grading process I will be grading the semester portfolio- all the work done in class that was not an individually graded project. The following items (with the dates they can be seen on this blog- use the archives at the right to access the earlier months) are expected to be part of it:

2/3/11 Wallpaper patterns with dots

2/10/11 Contour Lines (shoes)

2/24/11 Value study (charcoal)

3/10/11 Color Wheel and color mixing

3/24/11 Text as a visual element/ logo design

4/21/11 Color still life painting

Homework- Nothing new, but some students still owe me a few back projects, such as the limited color palettes and the various collages. Any overdue projects not turned in next week will be worth zero points. The Board Game project is due at the beginning of class May 12, 2011.

For next class 5/12/11- We will hold a group critique of the Board Game Final Project at the start of class, and then I will dismiss everyone for a while while I grade those, the semester portfolio, and any back projects. Graded work will be available to be picked up later during our class period.
