Class Hours: 10:05 – 2:40
Mr. Cronin
Notes
- Fire Drill FIRST – then we will read article and have Last Looks.
- Welcome to Week 14! Let’s make our folders now.
10:05 Attendance and Article
10:10 FIRE DRILL
10:25 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!
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 3 Point Perspective
Three-point perspective is used when you want to show dramatic depth, extreme scale, or a viewpoint that tilts up or down. It creates a sense of looking up at something very tall or down from a high place.
11:50 DH14: 10 Floating Boxes in 3 Point Perspective
Save your work as lastNameDH_14.jpg.
11:55 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.
12:25 Attendance and Video
12:30 Monday / Tuesday UI Element in Illustrator
- Today you are going to have a 20 minute sprint to create a UI element for your game. Think transparent background, saved as a PNG, from Illustrator.
- On the public is a folder called mondayUI – everyone have an asset in that folder by 12:50 when I copy the folder down.
- Export your file as lastName.png.
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 14 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
