Monday 2/3

Hi Students-  I apologize that I am not there today.  There was an emergency this morning and I couldn't make it to school.

Today, you need to begin building your car.  Last class we learned how to create forms and manipulate them.  Decide what car you want to model yours after and begin building.  Remember to constantly to be moving your scene (grid) so you can see your forms from all directions.  When you move your forms, everything should stay together..this is part of the challenge.  Don't worry about colors yet, just build your car.  But don't forget about windows and designs--  **Planes** work great for windows and designs  Planes are FLAT squares that you can manipulate.

Good luck!  I will be there to help you on Wednesday!


**NO ARTiFact today!**

Day 3 - 1/28/14 & 1/29/14

Today students started out their day with their first ARTiFact!  All ARTiFacts should be written down in the students folder.  I will post the first one below!

After we finished the ARTiFact, we took a quick look at Cole again, located Blogger as learned how to submit assignments to Cole.

For the remaindered of today, students should be working on their own Elements & Principles Powerpoint.  They are due at the end of the period and must be dropped into the "Elements and Principles Dropbox" on Cole.

Welcome to 3D Graphics

Day 1- As a class we discussed expectations and rules and then we jumped right into exploring Maya.  If you missed this, all expectations and rules are listed in Cole 3.0 under "files/links" under "First day info sheet".  Check it out if you are new to class! 

Day 2-  We began our Elements and Principles of ART unit.  Students took notes and each student began working on their own Powerpoint using the definitions I gave them but pick out new pictures that relate to design to show their understanding of each element and principle.  The powerpoint shown can be found in Cole 3.0 under "files/links" "Elements and Principles PP"  The directions for the assignment are listed in that section as well.  Students will have a day and a half to complete this assignment.  It will be turned in via Cole and we will practice that as a class together next class period.
