Welcome to the Fall 2014 Semester

This is the blog site that I have set up for my classes at Ocean County College.  Each week I will post information about my classes.  This semester I have a Basic Drawing class (ARTS 183 05) and everything related to that class will appear in green text.  Anything about things outside the class will appear in black text.

Each post will likely go up in the evening following the class.  The title will include the date and the name of the class, along with a brief description of the day's activities.  I will provide a detailed description of the exercises and projects worked on in class, along with photos of relevant student artwork from previous semesters.  I will also include the homework assignment due for the following week, and a list of specific art materials needed for the following week.  About a month's worth of posts will appear on the home page, but earlier ones can be seen by using the archive function in the right side column.


This is not an online class and this site is not a substitute for coming to class.  However it does make it easier for people who miss the class to make up the work, which some do even before the next meeting.  Even a student who never misses a class may find it useful, to see more examples of a project, or to get a reminder about when something is due, or even to check what to bring.  Most of what students need to know will be here.  It's available 24/7 without having to wait for me to reply to an e-mail.  However, if you have any questions that are not satisfied here, you are welcome to e-mail me and I will usually get back to you within a day.
