For Monday, September 27

Hi Guys, Friday I'll be speaking in North Carolina, so it will be a work day for you. Please go to class and sign an attendance list. Absences will count against you. There's lots to do, so think of it as creative time. Meanwhile...

ARGD 3010 - Monday you'll present your work for "Book Title: consider the relationship between drawing and letter forms." Haley found a great link chocked full of inspiration at http://covers.fwis.com/. There was also a good write-up on Young Adult book covers recently at Shelf Awareness. The online thesaurus I mentioned is called RhymeZone. (I use this all the time.)
     These are all good influences, but come up with your own ideas. I look forward to seeing what you create! And keep collecting your color swatches.

ARGD 3050 - Monday you'll present your work on "Good and Evil: Shoe designs for a Prada advertising campaign. Remember to also present 1-3 print outs of work from an illustrator you would hire for the project. (Feel free to use some of the links in the sidebar as starting points.)
     Not only am I looking forward to seeing what you come up with, I want to thank you all for really stepping up (ha!) on the assignment from Monday. I was amazed by your progress and thought you all presented some fantastic and creative ideas.
     Does a teacher proud, must say.
UPDATE! For Monday - bring in your art supplies. Different kinds of paper, different kinds of color (pastels, markers, colored pencils, whatever) - all dry media for now. And bring some Q-tips. Don't buy anything new - just bring what you can easily carry - I'll have supplies too. We're going to experiment.

P.S. - Y'all go ahead and follow this blog - lower left sidebar. Start creating your own community here.
