WEEK 15 _ Conclusions

Hi folks! This snow day really throws a monkey-wrench in the schedule. Since we're gonna have to compress more into our final class meeting on Wednesday I wanted to lay out some info on what to expect.

Between Now and Weds. 

• Please take a moment to complete the SPOT teaching evaluation for this class through Canvas. Your feedback is helpful in improving the course over time.
• If possible, get together with your group and get as far as you can with the collage materials that you've already printed on your collaborative frieze. (Note that the studio is occupied from 9am-3:15pm tomorrow/Tuesday. Hiromi will be holding her final class meetings so please don't interrupt.)

Wednesday, Dec. 10 = Final Class Meeting (there will be donuts and stickers)

1.) Final Project _ Upon arrival you will hang your final project (the one where you revisited a previous unit) in the space designated for install. Each of you will complete a brief written reflection on the piece and your development over the semester.

2.) Unit 4 Collab Collage _ We will quickly jump back into a final work session to resolve the collages as best as we can using remaining collage materials AND black and white acrylic paint (provided by instructor). 

3.) Studio Cleanup _ At 2:30 we'll stop working on the collages and conduct a studio cleanup (everyone will receive a task and we'll work together to get the space ready for next semester).

So this will be more of a 'working' final meeting than a 'critiquing' final meeting. 

Note that you'll need to remove all prints/drawings/materials from your cubbie by Friday, December 12. Anything left after this date will be thrown away. 

Final Project

Drawing Concepts: Final Project
You will revisit one of our earlier units and make a companion piece to your earlier drawing. 

Reminder of what we’ve done:

Unit 1 > Large Charcoal drawing that combined representational image (your original) with abstract composition (erasure with line).
Unit 2 > I Notice Journal OR Prismacolor Still-life drawing
Unit 3 > Space in Time Synthesis drawing 

Between now and Weds. 11/19, go back and review what you made for each unit. Choose a piece that you're interested in revisiting. Brainstorm a few simple parameters to guide your work.

You’ll have time to start these in class on Weds. I suggest that you plan to work at a smaller scale so that you can take these with you if you travel next week. I can provide paper/materials.
These will be due for critique during our last class meeting on Weds., Dec. 10. You will divide your time/effort between completing this and the Unit 4 Collage over the remainder of the semester.
