Week 6:
6/15/09: Monday, 6:00pm
—6/17/09: 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 spring 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. Please note, that you will have to do additional drawings for this week's homework. Also remember that next week the midterm project is due. That means that ALL OF THE WORK UP TO NEXT WEEK IS DUE, INCLUDING THE INTRO EXERCISES THAT WE DO AT THE BEGINNING OF CLASS EACH WEEK. I think you all worked hard this week in class and did quite well drawing the white shapes. 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, which means we are halfway through the semester. Therefore, everything that we have done up to now for classwork and homework will be due next week. Below is a list of exactly what you should have for me. Regarding homework for this week and the MIDTERM: Please read ALL the instructions as to what to do for next week's class. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to email me.
    This note is to inform you of two things due next week in the beginning of class:
  1. You must have your SKETCHBOOKS next week with ALL of the work we have done thus far both in class and for homework. Even if you have missed class, you are still responsible for ALL WORK.
  2. You must have your USB DRIVES with all of the COMPUTER DRAWINGS that we have done in class and for homework. This includes ALL of the exercises that you have already given to me at the beginning of each class. You must give me those files again next week.
Please download the link below to see the list of all the drawings that you must have done. If you are missing one or more from the list, go to the appropriate week further down, and download the instructions for that week. Have a nice weekend. Carter-

Hi everybody,
Midterm Quiz Info
    This note is to inform you of two things:
  1. 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 following:
    1. the keyboard shortcuts for the tools in the toolbar that we have covered up to now: pen tool (P), selection tool (V), direct-selection tool (A), pencil tool (N), brush tool (B), zoom tool (M), hand tool (H), rulers (apple-R), and;
    2. 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;
  2. I will announce what you will need to have complete for the midterm project (due in 2 weeks) in our next class.
First, I apologize to my Wednesday class for not being in class this week; but I'd also like to say that I was VERY happy about the work that I saw in class Thursday evening. 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. To find out what you have missed from previous weeks, scroll down. 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. Download those files that you have not yet completed and follow the instructions within them. Let me know if you have any questions or need any help. Carter-

Hi everybody,
I am very pleased how the drawing classes went this week. I know that many of you thought the drawing exercise was difficult, but please stick with it. It will get easier over time. Please pay attention to the amount of time I put at the top of each exercise. This is to give you an idea of how long it should take you to do the work and how fast you should try to draw. You may, of course, spend more time on the drawings than I ask, but it is not required. Some of the exercises are designed to take more time than others. Some are meant to be quick sketches. As in previous weeks, below you will find the classwork links for the work that we did in class this week just in case you missed class. You will also 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, SO BE SURE TO READ ALL THE HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS.
If you have any questions, please send me a message or an email. Carter-
