Monday, Feb 3

Learning target: SWBAT... Turn in a completed .psd and .jpg file of their name design to Ms. Van Dyke's teacher folder  and write a paragraph describing who's name they chose and how the imagery represents that person.

1. If you haven't completed the name designs project, that is your main priority today while you have access to Photoshop!!!! DO NOT MERGE ALL YOUR LAYERS.  You must also write a paragraph, on a separate piece of paper, and turn it in to me. Your paragraph must describe who's name you chose and how the imagery (each thing, be specific) represents that person. 

2. When you are done with Name project, complete Sketchbook #3, see Tuesday's blog. You should have had this done today because it was your homework, even though we had a snow day it was still due today. However, we will go over it tomorrow.

3.If you are done with that, you may start on sketchbook #4: Values. Due Friday, Feb 7th For this sketchbook assignment you are focusing on value, with touches of balance, and shape. Write the definition of value at the top of a sketchbook page. Underneath, divide the page into two. On one side, draw a creative, organic shape (a shape that does not have a specific name/ one you made up, like a blob). Treating the page dividing line as a mirror, redraw the mirror image of your organic shape on the other 1/2 of the page. ON the left side of the page, you will fill in the background with a value scale going light to dark. On the right side of the page you will fill in the shape with a value scale going dark to light. Below is an example. The more creative your are and detailed with good craftsmanship, the better grade you will receive. 

By Tomorrow you must have completed:
- Sketchbook #3
- Name designs project WITH PARAGRAPH
- answers to copyright questions in sketchbook

We will talk about the new project tomorrow as well.
