SUB NOTES---Mr. Morton Thursday and Friday January 8^th & 9th

E24 – first 2 periods

Homeroom

1. Roll

2. Read Morning Announcements from Pink Sheet. Not Thursday but Friday.

3. Please explain to students that Mr. Morton is out sick and will hopefully be returning before the end of the week. Just have a bad cold.

1^st & 2^nd Pd. – Digital Media Tech

4. Students are to pair off and can work on the computers. Their task is to rely on both the first assignment and their reading from Wednesday to write a one-page paper that describes how digital media affects our personal and professional lives. Due on Monday Jan. 12th

3^rd & 4^th Pd. – Painting and Drawing – Please direct all students into the classroom area. Please keep them out of the studio area, but if they want to take a quick peek around that is fine. Students will be graded on effort and on amount of actual pencil that is placed on the paper, so after they come up with their ideas, they should begin drawing. If they do not have pencil, then can use pen, but I prefer they use pencil if they have.

New Year Pre-Assessment Drawing

Prompt:

Now that it is a new year, what do you envision as a highlight of this year? Students are first to come up with 5 ideas as to what they see as a highlight of 2014 and try and picture it in their mind. After writing or sketching these 5 different ideas, students will spend Tuesday and Wednesday doing 3 sketches that envision this time when they hope to celebrate or to accomplish this highlight. They can sketch 3 different highlights and choose one for their final drawing or they can do 3 of the same highlight and try and refine that image.

Assignments:

Due Wednesday:

5 ideas: What are your highlights you have planned for 2014? 10 pts

3 rough sketches that envision one or two of these moments in the year. Worth 15 pts

Due Monday Jan. 12^th : Students are to begin a final drawing based upon their brainstorming & idea making session and the three subsequent sketches. Students should be made aware that they will be graded for completion and time spent actually drawing. Meaning sticking to the process and then simply more pencil to the paper will result in meeting the assignment’s criteria.

TODAY THE THREE SKETCHES ARE DUE! If STUDENTS ARE FINISHED THEY CAN BEGIN A FINAL DRAWING.
