Week 6:
  —10/20/08: Monday, 6:00pm
  —10/22/08: Wednesday, 9:00am & 12:30pm

Hi everybody, As in previous weeks, you will find the files for this week's posting, week 6 of the 14-week summer term, below. In addition, you will find links to download the files for the previous five weeks, in case you missed some of those exercises. I think you all worked hard this week in class and did quite well drawing the cube. I'm actually very pleasantly surprised. However, I am concerned at how much work some of you have to do for next week. Remember, not only next week's homework is due, but everything. Next week is MIDTERM, so everything that we have done up to now for classwork and homework will be due next week. I will post a list on Friday of exactly what you should have for me. Regarding homework for this week and the MIDTERM: please read ALL the instructions in the MS Word document as to what to do for next week's class. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to send me a message when you see me online in the Meebo message window to the right or send me an email. Have a nice weekend. Carter-

Hi everybody,
Midterm Quiz Info
Some of you might know that my computer crashed on Monday of this week. Also, in an unrelated but just as annoying event, my USB drive got a virus and all of my school files were deleted. Fortunately, I had backed up my files in my computer, which is being repaired and which I should have back sometime today (Friday).     So, this note is to inform you of two things:
  1. there is a problem with viruses at TCI and that you should be extra careful. As soon as my computer is returned to me, I am going to back up my important files in TWO places. I advise you all to do the same;
  2. we are going to have a MIDTERM QUIZ in class next week over the keyboard shortcuts I have covered thus far.     As soon as I get my computer back I will post a study sheet, but until then you should study all the keyboard shortcuts for the tools in the toolbar that we have covered as well as the following: open—apple-O; new—apple-N; save—apple-S; print—apple-P; undo—apple-Z; copy—apple-C; cut—apple-X; paste—apple-V; paste-in-front—apple-F;
First, I'd like to say that I was VERY happy about the work that I saw in class this week. You all worked very hard and you did some nice work. The drawings that we did were not easy, but most of you ended up with some very nice things. Second, on the other hand, many of you have not done much homework and because of that I am worried about most of your grades. We have had 5 classes and 4 homeworks. Many of you have not even completed homework for any week at all. You know who you are, and you must get to work as it is piling up fast. Below you will see a box with the 5th week'sfiles and then below it, you will see a box with week 1, week 2, week 3 and week 4 files. To avoid confusion, if you are in my Wednesday classes, the class we had this past week was week 5. If you are in my Monday class, the class we had this past week was week 4. Let me know if you have any questions or need any help. Carter-

Hi everybody, Below you will see a box with the 4th week'sfiles and then below it, you will see a box with week 1 and week 2 and week 3 files. Please, please, please download the files at the links below and READ THE INSTRUCTIONS VERY CAREFULLY. The drawings should take less time than you realize and should have less detail than you might expect. What we are concentrating on in these few drawings are the outlines and contours, NOT all the details you can see. If you find yourself with extra time, then you can come back and add more detail, but THIS IS NOT REQUIRED. I was VERY disappointed at how many of you did not do any homework; but hopefully by now, most of you have a pretty good idea how things are going to go in this class. Below you will see the links for this week, the classwork and the homework. For homework this week, like the previous 2 weeks, you will require 2 files. One file consists of the instructions of what you are supposed to do, and the other file is an Illustrator file which you will need in order to complete the computer exercise due next week. Let me know if you have any questions or need any help. Carter-
