10:35 3 Point Perspective Review

worms eye

10:45 DH 17: Single building from worms eye view in 3 Point Perspective

This week we are going to look at 3pt perspective from a low angle. At the end of 2024 we drew a single building from a high 3pt angle, to kick of 2025 we are going to draw a single building / structure from a low angle.

Put the 3rd vanishing point at the top, with the first two and the horizon line at the bottom. This will create the illusion of looking up from a worms eye perspective.

Create 1 single building / tower / structure demonstrating 3 point perspective that has super high levels of detail.

Alcohol markers and color optional, but consider. The more detail, the better.

Save your file as lastNameDH_17.jpg.

10:50 Morning Break (10 minutes)

11:00 SkillsUSA Pin Design Final Design

This morning we are going to use the time to “complete” our final pin.

Remember the textual requirements:

2025
Vermont (should be there already)
SkillsUSA (written exactly as it says, one word, lowercase “kills”)

We are presenting this to the class for feedback (using our online form as before) tomorrow right after attendance.

In the public there is a folder called “tuesdayPins”. Put a copy of your work in this folder before you leave today. Save an export of your file as lastNameTuesdayPin.png and have ready to upload at the start of class tomorrow. Make sure you have a solid color background.

12:15 Website Development Overview

The Vermont State College System has determined that CAWD’s second semester is worth 3 college credits. You can sign up tomorrow afternoon with Emmy (in CAWD @ 1pm) to earn 3 college credits for “Website Development“. You will not have to leave CAWD or do anything other than what you are already doing in CAWD to earn the college credits. Even if you don’t sign up to earn the college credits, you are going to do the work anyway, so … why not earn the credits? They are free to you as a high school student. So why would you not sign up for them? Let me tell you a story about Mr. Cronin’s final semester for his undergraduate degree…

12:25 Lunch

No food in the room / eat in the Cafe.
You are welcome to return to the room when you have finished eating and work / hang out.

12:55 Attendance and Article

1:00 A Gentleman in Moscow

A Gentleman in Moscow is a reader’s dream — a wonder-full, nuanced story full of wit, insight, and imagination.

Read along with Mr. Cronin. Improve literacy, word decoding, enjoy a nice story, and unplug from the world.

1:20 Afternoon Break (10 minutes)

1:30 Afternoon Practice & Production

Week 17 Agency

Remember we have to have our Tuesday version of our pin complete and uploaded before you leave today!

2:15 Dailies

2:20 “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 2:39 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.
