Fall 2010 week 3:—9/27/10: Mon. 9:00 - 12:00

Hi Everyone,
I know this is not easy stuff and that it can sometimes be frustrating, but it seems to me that all of you are actively really trying to figure things out. This is what is important, not whether you get it right 100% of the time. I don't want to run this point into the ground, but it's worth mentioning again, so good for you. The main thing you should take out of this class is learning how to figure this stuff out, when you have an error or a problem that you want to solve, how is it that you go about figuring out how to do that: spending time with the problem and making a concerted effort to working it out.

   • Exercise 1:
     1. Choose an artist and his/her movement as the subject of your midterm project. You may come to class with your selection, or, you may email to me your selection; but please make certain I know who you are if you email me. Also, there will be only one person per artist/movement. Therefore, I suggest that you select a PLAN B topic from above in case someone has already selected what you wanted.
     2. Come in to class next monday with TWO MOCKUPS of the FIRST PAGE of your website for the final project.
     3. A mockup is a FAKE website done in an image program such as Photoshop or Illustrator, thus the word MOCK!!!
     4. The subject of your site is BOTH the artist above on the left AND the art-historical movement that he or she belongs to on the right.
