Week 10: —3/22/09: Monday, 6:00pm —3/25/09: Wednesday, 9:00am & 12:30pm

Hi everybody, Overall, I have to say that I was quite happy with the work everyone did in this week's classes. The hallway drawing is not an easy one, but you all were pretty successful at it. You should be proud of your progress. I wasn't, however, all that happy with most of the homework. Please make sure that you read my instructions and try your best to follow them step-by-step. The homework for our class this week was supposed to have been a preparation for the hallway drawing. I daresay that you might have understood what we were doing in the hallway a little more if you all had done the homework. Nonetheless, hopefully you all are beginning to see the way artists measure things with their pencils, how big things are and what the angles are. You should continue this practice in the drawings that you do. Carter-

Hi everybody, We have completed more than half of the term already so far, and as it is we're done with Illustrator. This week you began to learn Flash, which in some ways is different from Illustrator; but which is actually quite similar to it in many ways. If you found it difficult, the best thing you can do is to practice in it MORE, not less. Please let me know if you have any questions, and keep doing your homework. It will pay off in the end of the semester. Carter-

Hi everybody, Thanks for the hard work this week. I know the exercises that we did in class were tedious, but they were meant to show you the fact that Illustrator can be used to make drawings actually look as if they were hand-drawn. They were also meant to show you that sometimes you have to be very detail-oriented and careful if you want the result to come out right. Please try not to fall behind. For those of you that did poorly in midterm, you know that you must work extra hard the second half of the term if you want to pass the class. So, good luck. Carter-

Week 7: —3/2/09: Monday, 6:00pm —3/4/09: Wednesday, 9:00am & 12:30pm

Hi everybody, For those of you who worked hard to complete the work for the midterm this past week, you get a well-deserved week off from homework. Others of you who either didn't give me much work for the midterm or who skipped it altogether perhaps shouldn't relax so easily. Although there is not any official homework due for our next class, I highly recommend that many of you continue practicing in the computer. This seems to be the biggest weakness as I look at your Midterm Drawing Portfolios. Many of you did a lot of drawing in your sketchbooks, but did not give me many computer drawings at all. This will bring your grade down significantly. Those of you concerned about your grades should produce as many extra computer drawings as possible. These will bring your grade up in the end as they will garner you extra credit for the final grade in 7 weeks. Have a nice weekend and see you in our next class. Carter-

Current: Work on extra computer drawings for extra credit due at the end of the semester.
