Hello Honors Art 100 Students! I hope you had a great Homecoming Weekend!
For Monday (10/11):
Please bring your cardboard body part project in-progress. Today will be a studio day where we additionally discuss the use of color in your project. The completed cardboard structure in color is due Wednesday of this week for critique.
For Wednesday (10/13):
Have your final piece ready for critique. We will again cover photographic documentation, but this time as a Photoshop lesson and introduction to the project following your midterm.
Over the Next Weekend:
1. Document your work.
2. Make short journal entries reflecting on what you learned from the project on your blog.
3. Comment on the 2 people's blogs in relation to this project (above and below your name on the blog list that appears here).
4. Work on your "In The Style Of..." Project, Paper, and Presentation - all due Wednesday, October 20th. Presentations should be no longer than 10 minutes each, and no shorter than 5 minutes - with 3 artists to talk about each, this should be no problem.
5. Monday (10/18) will be another studio day in preparation for the midterm.
Any questions? Do not hesitate to reply or e-mail me directly.

Your Blog Addresses
Please keep your posts current - they are due by the end of the day of that particular critique. You are additionally responsible for commenting on at least 2 other student projects after the critique on their sites. At the end of the semester - this blog will be the digital representation of all you have accomplished in the class - and will be graded as such! Care for it (the site) like you do your own work:
