Class Hours: 10:05 – 2:40
Mr. Cronin
Notes
- Welcome to Week 6! Let’s all make our folders now…
- From lunch to break today we will have a recruiting presentation from MECA. Due to this we won’t have an afternoon article and we can just keep gaming and zoning until they are ready. Another class is joining us, GAWD2 is joining us, etc.
OKOK – have to redo.
Looks like that SOME of us blocked other SOME of us. So Shelby and Piche aren’t even really “in” it.
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!

10:35 Turbo Squid Workflow
Continued practice / rapid development.
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 DH6: Inktober
Created in 2009 as a challenge to improve inking skills and develop positive drawing habits, Inktober has since grown into a worldwide endeavor with thousands of artists taking on the challenge every year.
This week we are going to pick one of the following prompts and use ink only to create it. It is a bit different than drawing with pencils. How is it different?
- More binary / Ink vs non ink compared to pencils.
- Can’t erase – this is good sometimes.
- Less midtones, and that can be ok sometimes.
First I want you to select from the prompt. We are going to select our topic today and make it public so we can compare your sketch to the prompt you chose. We do this to prevent “topic switching” throughout the week and then you end up turning in this.
Let’s take a look at the prompt list and decide which you want to do:
Once your topic has been recorded, you are stuck with it, so choose wisely!

Week 6 Agency

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
