9:40 Attendance and Article

9:45 Presentations of Work

This morning we are going to turn off our screens and present the three CAWD Homework projects you completed while learning remotely. We have about 3 minutes per student so we will have to be expeditious.

This week Daniel will be modeling appropriate constructive criticism.

Constructive criticism is the process of offering valid and well-reasoned opinions about the work of others, usually involving both positive and negative comments, in a friendly manner rather than an adversarial one.

We are going to separate the design from the designer. You can hate with a burning passion a colleague at work, but a professional designer can still give valid, relevant input.

Monitors off – let’s begin.

  • We are going to take a 10 minute break (seat to seat) outside to take our masks off and get some fresh air.
