Class Hours: 9:40 – 2:05
Mr. Cronin
Notes
- Wednesday! Early release schedule! Each and every Wednesday we are going to have an early release schedule where we … are released early. Up until break things are the same, then we have an early lunch and dismissal. Let’s look at how this works:
- No CTE 7/8 classes ever on Wednesday’s. As we move through the year you may be pulled during the afternoon to work with individual teachers if you fall behind in their classes.
- EHS students leave for their 7/8 classes at 1pm – EHS students only have afternoon academic classes on Wednesdays.
- Dismissal at 1:45.
- Tomorrow and Friday we have our first English classes of the year – this happens inside the CAWD class time and the teacher will come to us initially.
- Remember tomorrow we are going to the library to get a book for our end of day silent reading which starts Thursday afternoon. Get a book at the library, bring a book from home or another class, or take one from the limited CAWD library in the back of the room.

10:10 Adobe AM
Photoshop is a powerful graphics editing software developed by Adobe. It is widely used by photographers, designers, and digital artists for image editing, graphic design, and digital art creation. Photoshop provides a wide range of tools and features for tasks such as photo retouching, compositing, image manipulation, and creating digital illustrations.
We will spend the first 20 minutes of Wednesday’s learning Photoshop so we can incorporate it into our workflows.
10:30 Blender
- Xray mode – selecting all of something vs. what is facing you
- Subdividing something for detail
- Creating an arch
- Bridging for holes
- Appending a human for scale
10:50 Morning Break (10 minutes)
11:00 Lego Building
This morning we are going to continue working on a procedural activity, but this time under management of our Creative Directors.
These CD’s (or project leads) will get the instruction booklets and manage their team to success – complete F1 style cars (as seen above)
In this exercise we are looking are your ability to:
- Work as a leader (if a Creative Director)
- Follow directions
- Practice patience – your CD may be talking to another teammate at the second you need her… how can you react appropriately to that realistic situation?
- Working clean
- Ability to follow a procedure and meet the goal
