10/6 - Success Day!

Today was a very "success"ful day.
I had a great turnout of students that needed to catch up on late work and showed me their serious interest in picking up the speed.

As for class:
DoNow - Write down the color you are choosing for the background. Why? How does it represent you as an individual? Your personality?
A1 - Color - Emotions/Feelings/Representations (see notes below)
A2 - Artist's Statement Organizer
A3 - "ISH" (Independent Sketch Hall) 1. Trace Silhouette; 2. Draw Final Symbols; 3. Add Color (see Ms G first)
LOQ

Objectives: Students will be feel prepared and have a good understanding of how their artist's statement should be written.

HW: Write the first 2 paragraphs: I & II of their artist statement from the organizer handout.
