10:35 Web Design
- Iframes
- Yes
- cawdvt.org
- wcax.com
- abcnews.com
- No
- ford.com
- bbcnews.com
If you really want to use an iframe, you should test and make sure it works. Due to modern security policies (as well as control of content) not all sites are “allowed” to be iframed. You can almost always frame your own content as it’s all from the same site.
You may see this on the certification exam, and it does exist in the wilds of the internet, so we wanted to introduce the concept to you.
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 Tobi will give Constructive Criticism. Tomorrow Dylan will.
11:30 DH34: Nose and Mouth
This week we are going to focus on nose and mouth.
This week split your piece of paper in 2, with landscape orientation, so you have a left and right hand side.
On each side I want you to work on drawing nose/mouth combinations. Once “setup” on the left, one on the right.
Continue leaning into human realism.
Sign and date, call your work lastNameDH34.jpg.
11:35 Web Design
- image maps (image map generator)
Again, something that you see this on the certification exam. Trying to give you a taste of many different techniques as part of CAWD.

1:00 Steve Jobs Biography
Read along with Mr. Cronin. Improve literacy, word decoding, enjoy a nice story, and unplug from the world.
1:20 Afternoon 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.
1:30 Speed Design
Speed Designs are 10 minute sprints in CAWD where we practice. It could be any medium – 3D, 2D, video, programming, etc.

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
