Notes
- Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit!
- Welcome to Week 13! Let’s make our folders now…
10:05 Attendance and Article
10:10 Last Looks
Last looks is when I give students time to upload their completed work to the weekly folder on the public, in a folder that is your last name. Remember we aren’t doing any work today – this is just when we turn it in. Plan on not doing more than scan / upload each Monday morning – and the scanner may have a line!
Using all the way up to break for Last Looks as we are back after 9 days off…

10:50 Morning Break
11:00 Critiques
Each week we will upload our work on Monday. I will then present your work to the class. Each project I will pick a student to practice 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 2 Point Perspective Review
Let’s review 2 Point perspective.
11:50 DH12: 2 Point Architectural Design
This week we are going to move beyond the basics of understanding the “rules” of 2PT perspective, and start applying it. This week I want you to build something architectural and “real” using 2PT perspective.
It could be outside, it could be inside, so long as you are following the rules of 2PT perspective.
Above we see an exterior example, below and interior:
Save your work as lastNameDH_13.jpg.

12:25 Attendance and Article
12:30 Game Brainstorming
Today we are going to generate a sheet of concept art related to your game with your completed Ground and Sky Levels.
We are going to setup collection, “get this many items to move to Sky level” mechanic, setup the UI, etc, but this year I would like to extend this and talk about how we can lose.
Based on your art style and current game, what are some things that we could add into our game (art and behavior) that we can go against? Enemies? Time? Bots? Regions of the level? Let’s just sketch and label – nobody is stuck with anything, let’s just put ideas on paper.
Root your sketch in your own game – for me it will be in the world of Coffee for my Coffee themed game.
Collecting at the end of this, make sure you sign your name in the corner clearly!
12:50 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.
1:10 Afternoon Break
1:25 Speed Design
Speed Designs are 10 minute sprints in CAWD where we practice. It could be any medium – 3D, 2D, video, programming, etc.
1:40 Afternoon Practice & Production

Week 12 Agency
- lastNameAgency_1.jpg through lastNameAgency_3.jpg
2:15 Dailies
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.
2:40 Dismissal
