Welcome to the Spring 2013 Semester

This is the blog that I have set up for my classes at Ocean County College.  Each week I will post information about the most recent class meeting.  The date of the class meeting and the name of the class will appear in the title.  Information specific to my Basic Drawing class (ARTS 183 - 04) will appear in green text.  General information for all students will appear in black text.

Sometime in the evening after each class meeting I'll post information about the class.  I will include a general description of what was covered that day, with detailed information about the specific exercises and/or projects worked on in class.  If available, I'll include photos of student examples from previous semesters.  Each post will also include the homework assigned that week, and a list of materials that will be needed for the following week's class.  About a month's worth of posts will appear on the main page, but the earlier ones can be viewed by clicking on "older posts" at the bottom of the page, or through the archive section in the right side column.

The main purpose of this blog is to help students who miss a class for whatever reason to catch up quickly.  Many students are able to make up missed work even before the following week.  Keep in mind that this is not an online class, and this blog is not a substitute for attending class.  But even if you never miss a class meeting, the blog may be helpful for students who would like to see additional examples of the projects, or who want reminders of when things are due, the specifics of the homework, or which materials to bring to class.  It is available to you 24/7 without you having to wait for me to reply to an e-mail.  If you have any questions that are not answered in the weekly posts, you can still e-mail me and I'll likely get back to you within a day.
