Welcome to the third quarter. Over the next seven weeks we're charged with creating this year's 2017 Shield. The book this year is a challenge because of the construction zone that our school has become. We will need to be very creative in meeting that challenge and I'm looking forward to hearing and seeing your ideas for this keepsake edition. We will need everyone working on this in some capacity. Taking pictures in the CTE areas, doing interviews with senior students and staff members, laying out pages in InDesign and generally stepping up to fill needs is going to be everyone's job over this quarter. This is a very important year in the history of this school and we need to document the exciting changes happening at our campus. Portrait Retouching Playlist: Competencies this week:

Files for this week: This week we're going to be working on three different projects. For the photography project we are going to be doing the first project in Harvard's MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) course on Digital Photography. MOOCs are another way for us to grow our skills. You can take a college level course at Harvard, Stanford or a number of other colleges for free. All of the resources for these courses are open to the public. This link will show you how large a selection of these courses exist. The course we'll be looking at in the coming weeks is called Exposing Digital Photography. Competencies this week:
Welcome to your new lab and 2017! Thanks to all of you that have worked so hard on helping with the move to our new workspace. We still have some work to do to get everything organized, but it was wonderful to get a few workdays in last week and get back to our work. This is our space and we all need to take great care to keep it clean and looking like new. Construction continues in other parts of our campus, so please use good judgement when moving around the building. Go with the flow!
This week we'll be completing vinyl t-shirt prints that we began last week. We'll be taking mid-term exams Wednesday through Friday of this week. Please log on to your Google account to check for an email to access your mid-term. Log-in and passwords have been mailed to you. The mid-term is an open book test. Please take your time when taking this test. Our analog project this week is create a positive/negative space work in a media you have never used. Suggested medias include India Ink, Copic Markers, Tissue Cutting in color paper. We will do a workshop on using these medias on Monday and Tuesday of this week. You can see samples of possible design ideas by looking at the Analog Pinterest channel to the right. We need to begin taking portraits of the many new faces at our school. I'd like to distribute portraits to those students that want to work on the editing teams in both the AM and PM classes. We will be meeting in small groups throughout the week to get us back on schedule to produce this year's yearbook. |
