Today's Class- We briefly reviewed the events of the semester, and I explained the grades for last week's accepted project. Brian told us he had finished attaching the last few parts that they had created in class last week. Then it was time to inflate the giant penguin and see the results.
And we had a giant penguin, including air flowing into the flippers, the beak, the feet, and the tail. Held air long enough to reach full size and stand tall with help holding it upright. Doesn't fly, but then no penguin of any size does. Perhaps with helium...
How to make this up- Everyone was present and the project was completed.
Homework- Nothing, since the semester is now over. I'll submit grades in the next few days.
For next class- You get to stay home next Wednesday. I emptied the glass display case of any student work from the past year, which was either returned or disposed of.
Enjoy the summer.
Today's Class- Tonight the students continued on the final project- the large scale inflatable pieces begun last week. However we also took time to look at the projects due today- the scale installation pieces involving plaster figures and whatever else they wanted to use. Below are two examples.
How to make this up- Working together with peak efficiency, the class almost pulled off the completion of an eight foot tall penguin before the end of the night. Came up a little short, but we have time to finish it next week.
Homework- The Final Project- the large scale inflatable animal piece, is due May 10, 2017. This is the final meeting of the semester, last chance to earn points in this class.
For next class 5/10/17- You have the whole period if you need it, but once you have shown your completed final project, you're done. We will also clean up and/or dispose of anything that we did this semester.
