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 DH24: Texturing
This week we are going to focus on the physical characteristics of a surface. While last assignment we focused on how the light and shading falls on the object, this week it’s about the literal surface composition of the surfaces. As with everything in a Still Life, if we boost up our abilities on visually describing a surface we are going to be able to move closer to reality when the time comes.
This week we want you to draw a Stone Wall – and if you want to draw something similar to what we saw in the resource above it would be a “Yorkshire Stone wall“. You can do a standard wall, a pile of rocks, some sort of a stone statue – but we want to see a minimum of 25 rocks. A 5 x 5 wall would suffice.
What we are really looking for is the texture on the wall. We want to look at your sketch and be able to touch and feel the surface, the irregularities – all through what you design.

12:50 1984
Nineteen Eighty-Four (1984) is a dystopian novel by George Orwell that explores totalitarianism, mass surveillance, and the manipulation of truth through the story of Winston Smith in the superstate of Oceania, ruled by the omnipresent Party and its figurehead, Big Brother.
Read along with Mr. Cronin. Improve literacy, word decoding, enjoy a nice story, and unplug from the world.

Week 24 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
