12/8/11 2D Design

Today's Class- Tonight the class filled out the course evaluation forms, and we looked at a few late arriving palettes and collage projects. Otherwise the rest of the evening was spent working on class related projects- for most students that was the board game project started last week.

***************Semester Portfolio****************

Next week the semester portfolio will be graded. This consists of all the work that has not been otherwise collected and graded. If you haven't missed any classes, you should have it all done. The following items are expected to be part of it, along with the dates each can be found on this blog.

9/15/11- wallpaper patterns in dots

9/22/11- contour line shoe drawings

10/6/11- value drawings (charcoal or conte crayon)

10/20/11- color wheel and color mixes

10/27/11- words and logos

11/22/11- color still life painting

Homework- Nothing new, but several students still owe the palettes or collage project, and of course the Board Game Final Project is due at the beginning of class on December 15, 2011.

For next class 12/15/11- Our final grading day. If you want to be safe, bring everything you did for this class this semester, but at least have the above portfolio items and your final project. If you still owe a back project, bring those as well. Anything that is not turned in next week for grading will be worth zero points. We will have a critique of the final projects, then I will dismiss the class for a while I finish grading everything. Students will be able to return later during the class to pick up all the graded work.
