Notes
- Happy Birthday Sawyer!

- Have Blender left on
- Have Unreal left on to the specific project we create
- More before English…
10:05 Attendance and Article
10:10 Adobe AM
Cleaning up extra marks on your sketches. Couple different ways to attack this problem:
- Step 1 – use your erasure BEFORE you scan. This is by FAR the easiest solution, but often we need to work digitally.
- Step 2 – Remove Tool – let Photoshop help
- Step 3 – Patch tool – let Photoshop help
- Step 4 – Select and use generative fill for “clean paper”, letting Photoshop help
- Step 5 – Clone Stamp Tool – Full manual control as a designer as sometimes Photoshop Photoshops when helping.
10:30 Unreal
- Quick review of Terrain creation with sculpt
- Terrain material

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.

2:20 “19 Minutes”
Every day in GAWD will end with “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 the end I will 3 students and ask for a 1 sentence explanation of what happened.
