11:00 Critiques
Each week we will upload our work on Monday as a class. I will then present your work to the class. Every week we will pick a new student to proactive giving constructive criticism. Constructive criticism is a type of feedback that offers specific and actionable advice to help employees to improve. In the professional setting we need to be to talk professionally about the work, even if you don’t “love” the person who created it.
If selected, you will 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.
Today Connie will give Constructive Criticism. Tomorrow Lee will.
11:30 DH22: Wine Bottle or Vase
This week we are going to look at drawing a classic still life participant, glass. If we look at generalized still life sketches we will find glass in a number of this, I would bet 50%+. Glass provides a great way to add interest to your still life as it is often a curved, reflective form that often has transparency. This week we have two choices to practicing our abilities to render glass on paper with pencil.
The easy path. (harder to get the “A” as you chose the easy route) Here is an OK 12 minute resource with just background music, where you can watch what the artist creates. Notice the way the artist uses light and dark to visualize highlights and shadows.
The hard path. (easier to get the “A” as you chose the hard route) Here is a 26 minute resource with explanations along the way. More work here on refractions, how the light works in the shadows, etc. Really quite nice looking. This will test your mettle as an artist.
Create a wine bottle, or the vase.

11:35 Web Design
- Floats
- Absolute Positioning
- ID’s – use only once.
- 3 Different Styles of Styling
- External – best practice – the right way – the way we have done it so far.
- Embedded – not best practice – like cooking with spoiled food. We can’t try this until tomorrow in VS Code.
- Inline – poison. Do not do this unless you have a very, very good reason.
- … the problems is, they all work. Let’s see how they work.

2:20 Dailies
2:25 “19 Minutes”
4 of 5 days per week we will end our day in CAWD with the “19 Minutes” of silent reading. Closing down our day with silent reading provides many benefits:
- Improve Literacy Skills / Reading Stamina
- Create space for a small reading meditation where we can disconnect from the world and get lost in a story
- Unplug
At 2:44 each day I will come to 3 students and ask for a 1 sentence explanation of what happened in your story over that day’s reading session. It is neat to hear little pockets of a story, here and there.
2:45 Dismissal
