Thurs., Nov. 19

Drawing Portfolios due date:  12:30 p.m. Thurs., Dec. 3!

Figure Drawing Portfolio:
In an effort to expedite the evaluation process, Lisa would like to review figure drawing portfolios at the end of week 9.  Submit figure drawings that are 10 minutes in duration or longer (remove gesture drawings and separate ‘Ruth Drawing’ session work from ‘Lisa Drawing’ session work).  Submit the drawings in a neat stack, or better — in your tablet(s) outside Lisa’s office door (SEM II E 4106) on or before the deadline.  Be sure your name is on your portfolio/tablet.  Lisa will gladly take drawing portfolios as early as Tuesday and Wednesday of week 9, following your final drawing session.

Drawing portfolios for Ruth’s workshops: Please include all zoetrope strips, preparatory sketches and reflective writing for animation assignments, as well as drawings done in class.  Submit these in your tablets or a portfolio/envelope and stack them outside Ruth’s office door (Com 358) by 12:30 pm Thursday, Week 9.

Mon. Nov. 16th

For Ruth’s drawing workshop this week, you’ll need your newsprint pads, charcoal, chamois, animation paper, pencil, sign pen, black paper strips/corners and the bamboo sticks for proportion work.

Remember that our paint-on-glass critique will be in the Multi-Media Lab on Thursday at 9 am.

Also, for your information, access to media labs over the Thanksgiving break is limited to the following:

Media Loan:
CLOSED
*The last chance to checkout equipment/keys, and reserve time in production facilities is on Saturday, 11/21, from 8:45am-1:15pm.

Library 24-Hour Suites, including the 2d Animation Lab:
Monday – Tuesday > 8:00am – 6:00pm
Wednesday > 8:00am – 5:00pm

Late Night Access from 5:00pm – 9:00pm

Note that after Thursday, the Paint on Glass DV LInear Suite will be dismantled.  After this point if students need to use charcoal, paint on glass, or anything else that makes a mess they will have to get their rebel proficiency from Media Loan and check with the lab aides, or Stephanie Zorn, to schedule the Com lab and use their own camera with the Sand Stand.  So that work will have to wait until after the Thanksgiving Break.
