10:35 DH27: Summative Still Life First Draft

As we approach the end of the 3rd Quarter we are going to have a 2 week Summative Still Life project to wrap up Quarter 3 Traditional Art Focus.

As this is something that will go in your portfolio, that colleges, employers, and others will see, I am going to let you decide what you wish to create. Let’s say at a minimum you must have:

Table / basic scene for shadows to fall
3 objects to focus on (at a minimum)
- Bottle
- Bowl
- Fruit
- Vase
- Spoon
- Pot
- Headphones
- Picture Frame
- Candle
- ?

Remember that this is your first draft / first 50% of this sketch. You aren’t doing 2 separate projects over 2 weeks, you are doing the first half this week, the 2nd half the second week, and creating the best Still Life of your life.

At the end of Week 2 we will compare your before / after to judge progress.

Save your file as lastNameDH27.jpg.

11:00 Client Work with our Center Channel Layout

This week are going to work as Web Designers and Developers for a local client, the Central Vermont Career Center. They currently have a site which needs to be updated to a Responsive experience, and they don’t know how to. You do.

You are going to use our Center Channel layout from last week (our CAWD go-to layout) and mock up a potential redesign for your client meeting with them. You will use their Digital Media Arts program as our muse.

You will rebuild a single page to show the direction you would take their Design.

Requirements:

Navigation with their 8 links, but use dead href’s (#)
Use their existing logo.

Move the contact info that is currently in their header, along with the 4 social links, to the footer. Again use dead href’s (#)
Include one of the galleries of work, just show us what it would look like. These images must have rollover effects to become brighter. Use the opacity property.

Include the YouTube video. To make this valid you will remove the frameborder attribute from the code that YouTube gives you. You have to do this to get valid code.
Include the following copy and images in the <main> part of the website – info that would be specific about this page. You decide how to present it. Remember how we did our Center Channel layout as a class. Headings? Paragraphs? Lists? All of the above? Make sure to include:

What We Do

The Digital Media Arts program is the home of creativity and collaborative project-based-learning at the Career Center. Using some of the latest technologies and in anticipation of technologies to come, our students have all the tools needed to design and create in both artistic and professional settings. Combining many media types, career paths, and industry trends, the curriculum of Digital Media Arts takes a progressive approach to learning. The first quarter helps students enhance their vision of the world through photography by mastering cameras and manipulation software like Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom. In the second quarter, students learn new ways of communicating and work with professionals in the community during our graphic design unit. During the third and forth quarter, students learn about music production and begin our advanced filmmaking unit where they master industry-standard camera equipment and software. Whether it is through photography, graphics, film, music, web design, or animation, “DMA” students master creativity for the entire world of media possibilities.

“DMA” now offers a second-year program for advanced study within your chosen media path. DMA II’s curriculum puts an emphasis on portfolio development to advance your career and/or secondary education.

When complete this single page client redesign:

Place in folder called “clientSchool” with your single HTML called index.html
Make sure you test for validity through the W3C online validator
Make sure you test so we don’t see a horizontal scroll bar

You may need to use Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday at home to work on this. Remember that VS Code is free and we all have browsers!

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.
