10:35 Morning Break (10 minutes)

• 10 Minute break – you have to exit the room.
• When the door near the TV is open, you are welcome to come back in.

10:45 Critiques

Today Jerry will be giving Constructive Criticism. Pick 1 thing that works, and 1 thing to improve upon next time. Remember we are separating the Design from the Designer. We are looking for actionable input.

Remember that Constructive Criticism can sometimes be subjective… on art which is also subjective. You don’t have to agree with the Constructive Criticism, but you have to hear it without getting defensive.

Tomorrow Joshua will be giving Constructive Criticism.

11:35 Design Homework 22: Bottles / Jugs

Bottles, glasses, and jugs are often found in still life scenes. They not only involve an smooth interesting surface, there are often reflections / refractions which bring visual interest to the scene.

Watch the following resource so you get an idea of how to create these rounded glass creations:

Create a sketch (in landscape orientation) of a minimum of 5 bottles / jugs / pails on a surface. Make sure your shading is not only on the bottles, but falling on the “table” to reinforce the illusion that the objects are rooted in a scene as the recourse says.

12:00 Game Day Prep?

We have two full weeks until vacation.

What do you think about having a Game Day the Friday before vacation, February 24th?

If so – lets talk about what we have for food, and what we would be interested in.

As always we will look to Josh / Jerry to organize as our student leaders on SLC. If you are able to donate money than I am happy to go to the store that morning to pick up what we want. We can create a pot luck form again? We don’t have to do ANYTHING with food and we can just socialize and game.

What would you like to do? Let’s root the day as a nice pre-vacation socialization, however we want to steer it.
