Hi everybody,
This week in class, we had a bit of a rest from drawing. We did do some drawing, but most of the class was taken up playing around with Photoshop. Photoshop is a tool that I daresay all computer designers and artists use. It is so widespread that even ordinary people (like my parents) use, even though they know little about computers. It is a gigantic program and so it does many, many things. Please try to make a habit of using it. I am no expert at Photoshop, but I also use it regularly in my work.
We will continue using Photoshop next week for homework, so please give yourself time to work with it if you find yourself struggling. Also, regarding the 10 images that you collected this week, please retain those as we will be using ALL of them in subsequent exercises.
This week for homework I am introducing something that is new in a couple of ways. First, I have put a few videos in here, something I've never used before, that you should watch and follow by drawing along. It is new in a second way as well, and that is that it is explaining one method of creating a human head/face in profile. So this series of videos is a way to introduce the topic of the face as an object to draw. There will not only be more videos for you to watch over the next few weeks, but also a whole series of drawings that involve the face. If you follow along in earnest, I believe you'll be happy with the results that you produce by the end of the term.

If you are using a PC, try right-clicking and selecting "save as". This will allow you to download the video onto your computer. That way you can view it anytime you want. When you open it, use Windows Media Player. If you still cannot open them, try another browser such as Firefox or Safari. Try both left and right-clicking.
If you are using a MAC, then you will need to download a small program to open it that allows you to open Windows Media files. This program is called Flip4Mac and it is free. Install it and try to run it.
