10:50 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.
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 Dylan will give Constructive Criticism. Tomorrow Peyton will.
11:30 DH21: Bowl (empty)
Topic
We are going to attack the subject of Still Life sketching by looking at the individual components that go into making the “classic still life”.
Learning
3rd Quarter learning moves from direct instruction to supplied learning resources.
Here is a great 22 minute resource.
Here is an 11 minute resource, I don’t think it is as good, but it’s there.
If you are serious about getting better as an artist and apply this to your career – watch both.
If you are have to pick one of the two but care about quality, pick the 22 minute resource.
In the end we want a bowl – a bowl only. We are breaking down and practicing the individual elements of a still life, and will put them back together at the end of the quarter.

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
