2nd half of the semester comments
Please leave your thoughts by writing a comment to this post.
The new proposed schedule calls for us to spend the month of March doing the skillshares and looking/talking about artists' work, which is something I want us to spend more time on so that the last project won't feel too rushed or uninformed.
DON'T FORGET that the SKILLSHARES also include a component where you share 2 artists who use the skill you are demonstrating, and that you will need to make sure Lacey and I know if you need us to get supplies for you. You are also encouraged to assign HW/readings if you want us to do something beforehand.
PLEASE RE-READ THE SKILLSHARE CRITERIA!
THE PDF CAN BE DOWNLOADED TO THE RIGHT, UNDER "HANDOUTS"
April would be spent working on your final project, which will be due on the 25th (this is the same as the original syllabus).
