Beginning Drawing

-I had a couple students lose drawings to the wind. Reiterate the fact they need to create a stable portfolio to hold all of their drawings at the beginning of the semester by requiring they bring cardboard (I’ll provide duct / packaging tape) to class to create a portfolio.

-Consider decreasing the proportion of points the tests are worth and / or providing the study guide EARLIER in a given unit.

-I’ve switched the “flipbook” project to an “animated GIF” project. Overall, I think this will be a positive move, however, it is going to be a substantial undertaking. In the future, it will be useful to show students Adobe Photoshop in the “photo-book” project. That way, students will have some prior experience with the program before they use it for the “animated GIF” project. As it stands, I have to show them quite a bit for this project (scanning, uploading photos, resolution, basic tools, etc.).
