At the Interim point of the marking period, we have now finished our accordion fold design books, and have moved onto surrealist collages. In working on these, we are learning how to use the principles of design to best communicate visually. Students are gathering images from National Geographic magazines and silhouetting objects so that they can recontextualize them to create a new and metaphorical visual narrative. Students are expected to have all their images gathered by now, and to have designed enough of the image to be able to glue a few elements down.
A reminder: HW 1.2.2, the visit the the "Source Materials" exhibit at the Lehman College Art Gallery is due on Friday, December 5. Worksheets and information sheets may be downloaded from the homework page.

Second Marking Period in motion
We all survived the last week of the first marking period; students rose to the occasion of meeting a "hard" deadline for an art project, and we have been finishing up our name design book.
Homework assignment 1.2.1, A visit to the Lehman College Art Gallery to see the exhibit "Source Material" has been handed out. Students who need a replacement copy for their worksheet should look for it on this website under "homework." A PDF file of the "Source Materials" information worksheet may also be downloaded from the homework page.
This week we will start a surrealist collage.
I will also introduce the first semester writing assignment, the visit to the MET. Copies of that worksheet and assignment may be found under "Semester Writing Assignments".
1.1 Marking Period grades will be
up on Jupiter, and grade reports will be handed back this week.
