Week 15 Agency

10:30 3 Point Perspective Review
10:50 Morning Break (10 minutes)
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.
11:30 AM Production for WCAX
During this production window, we are going to do some filming, and it may be forced. They needs students working, so we are going to use this time to work.
While you don’t know the project specifics yet, safe to say you have to create the UI for your game this week, so you can always work on that. You can also start your agency.
12:00 DH16: Single building from birds eye view in 3 Point Perspective
The title says it all.
Put the 3rd vanishing point at the bottom, with the first two and the horizon line at the top. This will create the illusion of looking down from a birds eye perspective. (After vacation we will do the reverse and look up.)
Create 1 single building demonstrating 3 point perspective that has super high levels of detail.
Alcohol markers and color optional, but consider. The more detail, the better.

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 Speed Design
Speed Designs are 10 minute sprints in CAWD where we practice. It could be any medium – 3D, 2D, video, programming, etc.

Week 16 Agency
- lastNameAgency_1.jpg through lastNameAgency_3.jpg
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.
2:40 Dismissal
