Hi everybody,
Welcome to all of you who were not in class the first week of class. Please, if you did not do so in class, the first thing I would like you to do is to send me an email (carterdjohnson@aim.com). Please type the following information in the email: your name, your ID#, and then type your class (DMA107), and the section (this is the number that follows DMA107 on your schedule).
Now that that is done, this is the blog for my class, Computer Drawing—DMA107. Here you will find all the handouts for the class, both the classwork and the homework. If you want to read about what we did in class, why we did it, how we did it, and an explanation of the exercise; or, if you would like to do the exercise again, then click on the link that says classwork to download the instructions. If you were not in class, you should CERTAINLY do this and make sure that you do the exercises in your sketchbook like everyone else. I will take up the sketchbooks at midterm and expect to see all exercises there whether you were in class or not. Also, below the classwork link you will see the links for homework. Everyone needs to click on these links to download the instructions for the homework each week. Follow them very carefully. There is ALWAYS more than one homework exercise to do!! THERE IS ALWAYS MORE THAN ONE HOMEWORK EXERCISE, SO BE SURE TO READ ALL THE HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS. Make certain and do all the homework exercises for week 1 and week 2 this week. If you have any questions, please send me a message or an email. Carter-

21 LINKhomework - Adobe Illustrator Graphic—this is the file that you should use in the homework exercise 2. It is an .AI file, but for some using PC computers, this file will download as a .PDF file. Don't worry, however, the .pdf file will open up in Illustrator just as well. Once you open Illustrator, choose FILE >> OPEN and then select this file. Let me know if you have further questions or difficulties.

Hi everyone, Well, this is the blog for the Computer Drawing class. It is a class for learning the basics of how to draw both by hand and in the computer. Therefore, you will acquire skills with drawing by hand from life with pencils and possibly charcoal on paper and using Adobe Flash and Illustrator in the computer. Here in this blog, I will provide links for the weekly handouts and provide you downloads for the Flash or Illustrator files when necessary. When you download those handouts, you will find a very detailed set of step-by-step instructions on what to do for classwork or homework. You will need these instructions for the homework, but also for the classwork in the case that you miss a class and need to make up the work. On that note, however, keep in mind that I DO NOT TAKE LATE WORK. A couple of other things about this blog: first, you should notice on the right-hand side that there is a Meebo Chat Window where you will be able to see whether I am online or not, and, if you have a question or a comment—or if you just want to say hi—you can do so by typing in a message and hitting enter; second, down at the bottom of this posting, you will find a place where you can publish comments of your own for everyone to see. Chances are that if you have a question, others in my classes will have the same question. So, please type something there. I will post a response quickly.
