First Day Assignments

Hi Guys,
I enjoyed my first day of teaching and getting to meet you all. A few things were mentioned I wanted to follow up on. In 3050 we talked about the "Dueling Banjo Pigs" blog. Illustrators often get together to participate in funny and sometimes serious projects online. Another interesting joint venture was the recent fund raiser for the Gulf, called ripple. Joining in the community of illustrators through sites like these is a great way to build support and network in your chosen field.

ARGD 3010 - I assigned a new project which will run through the semester - we'll call them "Color Boards." Start collecting swatches, fabric, buttons, whatever, to create 2 to 3 collages of colors you are drawn to. Each page should be about one color. We're trying to define your personal color palettes. This will be presented in conjunction with your final project at the end of the semester.

ARGD 3050 - I assigned homework for the semester. You must spend 30 minutes a week in either the computer room or resource library researching online illustrator sites. I have several links on this blog which you can use as starting points. You may also use this homework time to select an illustrator you would hire for each of your drawing assignments. Bring in 2 to 3 printed art samples of the illustrator you've chosen to present during our critiques each week.

These new assignments are also listed on your class pages in red.
Thanks!
