Collaborative Illustrations

I am going to start posting again because I've missed blogging. I did this collaborative illustration project with my students. They are 6-8 years old. Each student had to draw a part. Either the head the body or the feet. The paper was folded so they couldn't see what the other had drawn until the end.

You win some

All was not lost this year. I'm proud to say I convinced one student that doubted the program to stay. He really applied himself to creating a body of work. All the images he used were his own and he experimented with combining them in Photoshop.

One day I just decided.....

Two of my Digital Media students have become sculpture majors. I didn't try and stop them. They seemed pretty passionate about their choice. The first student told me she walked into her Word and Image class and just decided she didn't want to sit at a computer anymore. The other one said that he was just plan discouraged by his portfolio review. I can't really blame them for wanting to be the next Henry Moore.

Great Expectations

Another movie title sequence from the Digital Media final.

Honesty

Today in the final crit I told my student I really liked the way the music ended on his project. His response was "That was luck"

Transition

Yeah I haven't quite accepted that classes are over. I still have so many files to look at and grade. For the final in Digital Media 2 I gave the assignment of movie title sequences. I really love the transitions on this one.

It's grading time

Today it is so cold and rainy. I can't believe finals are over. The students are sleep deprived. They think tables look like comfortable places to sleep. They are yellling absurd things to stay awake. And it's time for me to give them grades.
