      • Back by 1ish? We will do a Study Guide when we return.
    • Tuesday
      • CAWD certification exam
      • We are taking it right at 10:30, you can’t be late this day! We will have an early morning cram session, and then take the exam.
      • Remember that it isn’t graded, it’s an opportunity that we give to you, and pay for. All we ask is you try your best. I think everyone in this room is going to be happy with the results.
    • Wednesday
      • Game Day / Get files off machines
      • If it doesn’t rain, I will be at one of my children school ceremonies. It if rains, I will be here.
    • Thursday
      • Make up Certification Exams at 10:00. If you miss taking the exam with the class Tuesday (don’t miss it), and you miss the make up Thursday (don’t miss it), you have to come in Friday June 16th at 8AM to take it. This is after our school year has ended, but you missed the first two times to take it in class. Just be here for the Tuesday exam – it’s the easiest solution.

10:45 Critiques

Today Granger 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 Granger will be giving Constructive Criticism.

11:35 Final Agency (Triple Weight)

We have no more CAWD Web Projects.

We have no more Design Homeworks.

Our final two CAWD projects are our:

• 1984 graphics
• Final Agency

As we spoke of last week, this week’s main focus is our Final Agency. This is a triple weight project. Finish something big that you have started, or work on something that you never got a chance to (Chat GPT powered project, driving game in Unreal, Geometry Nodes in Blender, Location based web project, etc)

The project above is an example of a 3D modeling project where Ryan accurately modeled Legos, and then modeled a vehicle off of a blueprint set.

Logically name your files, and be ready to upload and present to your folder Friday morning.

We will not have production time on Friday to work on this – we will be uploading it right after the article.
