Thursday, September 15th

Thursday, September 15th

Class Hours: 9:40 – 2:05
Mr. Cronin

Notes

  • Thursday!
  • Tomorrow we will be having a 30 minute Welcome presentation from the CTE administration. Please listen, do not have side conversations, stay off the phones, and obviously no headphones! This is a perfect example of generating a good T&E grade through professionalism.
  • It is important that we remember our 3 Project model going forward, and that all have been assigned for Week 3. You should be making progress on all 3 projects throughout the week.
    • Farm – I have seen us all making progress on this. You have today and Friday left.
    • Agency – This is where you pick a topic (Blender or Photoshop or traditional art) and create a project. If you haven’t started this, you need to start today. Here or at home as homework. Impressing the class is the goal. Push yourself. Don’t turn in 3 renders of the default cube.
    • DH3. We will not have time for everyone to scan on Monday morning, and there are no extensions if there is a line at the scanner. You know when there isn’t a line? Yesterday. Today. Friday. Waiting until the last minute to use the scanner almost guarantees you get a 0 for that project for on time grading. Don’t have a hissy fit with me when you miss the deadline, especially as we have talked about it. (While of course I don’t recommend drawing in 1/2 or 7/8 classes during that boring lecture …) Get it done.
  • Hey, this is new…
