Bellwork: Title your entry, "Displacement Map Dialogue Panel"
Copy and paste the text AND the jpeg below into your journal for future reference.
"The Displace filter is actually made up of two separate dialog boxes. The first dialog box asks us to set some options, with the two most important options being at the top. The Horizontal Scale and Vertical Scale options determine how much impact the displacement map will have on the image. In other words, they determine how far the pixels in the image will shift horizontally and vertically.
Unfortunately, there's no preview available so the Displace filter usually involves some trial and error until you get things right. The default value of 10 for both the Horizontal and Vertical Scale options is a good place to start, but I'm going to increase mine to 15 for a bit more of an impact. The values you end up using will depend both on the size of your image and on your own idea of what looks "right", so be prepared to undo this step a few times and try again. You can leave the Stretch To Fit and Repeat Edge Pixels options in the bottom half of the dialog box selected"
CONVERTING THE LAYER TO A SMART OBJECT LAYER BEFORE APPLYING THE DISPLACEMENT MAP WILL ALLOW FOR EASY EDITS ON YOUR HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL SCALE IN THE DIALOGUE BOX!

Bellwork: Title it, "Mini Me Tip #4" Copy and paste the following...
Remember, the whole point of the Mini Me assignment is to write an action that edits a batch of photos at one time. Once you have color corrected one of your mini me photos, you will be able to record those steps as an action and Batch edit the rest of your minions. You will show me your action for credit......and I will be able to see it repeated in your layers.
Things to do:
Double check the Design Checklist to make sure you are on the right track!
Seniors, you need to make an exam folder inside your classroom folder. You will also need to create a Google Doc within that folder for your artist statements/wrapup. You are responsible for all of the assignments 1-5. At this time, you should be wrapping up your Mini Me and you are starting on your final. Here is your Exam Description.
Juniors, your next assignment once Mini is done is ready.

Here are some past examples of the Mini Me project! We'll go over the design checklist with details on Monday...but as you look through these, you'll see some good examples and some things that needed more time and attention. Take a look and see if you can identify some techniques that are a must DONE WELL!

We'll go over the design checklist with details on Monday...but as you look through these, you'll see some good examples and some things that needed more time and attention. Take a look and see if you can identify some techniques that are a must DONE WELL!
Things to do:(Last week of the Marking Period, last day is Friday!)
- Finish Perspective Grid project- check it against the Design checklist AND have another D2 student give you feedback before you call it 'done'.
- Perspective Grid Weebly Post:
- An explanation of how you created it.
What gave you the most trouble?
What do you feel you learned or improved on the most with this project?
What is your favorite part of this design?
- An explanation of how you created it.
- Layer Mask Assignment- Choose any two jpegs (They should be 'related' in some way for unity.) Use a layer mask to create a slow transition somewhere between the two layers. (See examples on 3/15/19) It could be within one object, person, or animal or within the background. To receive full credit for this assignment, you need to demonstrate your ability to seamlessly combine two jpegs in some way, in a polished, artistic way. You will also need to upload both the jpeg and the .psd file (so I can look at your individual layers) to your Google Folder. While I am specifically looking at this as review for the layer mask, feel free to use adjustment layers as well to unify the colors of each jpeg so that it looks as one.
- 2 Adjustment Layer pics (3/19/19)
- Double Exposure tutorial- This link provides both a written step by step as well as a video version. Both may be helpful, but if you're like me and need to SEE it being done, scroll straight down to the video. Another Double Exposure tutorial from our PHLEARN buddy that goes a little more in depth on layer mask tricks. Worth the watch!
- Double Exposure Practice Assignment- Find two images from the web to practice this technique. Your goal is to use Layer Masks, Adjustment Layers, and Blend Modes to make the transitions between the two exposures as seamless as possible.
- Gradient Mapping Practice- (4/2/19)
- NEW! Double Exposure Project- Uses your own image for the main subject. Take a picture of a person or animal to use as one of your pictures, a head and shoulders shot with a simple, light background is preferred. You can use web images for the overlays (At least one, but you could use more.) There is a connection between the 'model' and the subject matter of the overlays. Adjustment layers (specifically Black and White and Levels, but you could use others) to 'sync' the photos color wise. Blend modes are used to combine the pictures. Modification of the pictures with Adjustment Layers and Layers masks are done in such a way that the pictures blend seamlessly AND the important features of each are still visible.
- Level v Curves Practice (4/4/19)
- Double Exposure Weebly Post (4/12/19)

Bellwork: Title your entry, "Global Issue Mini Me Idea"
Go to this link. Along the side of the page is a list of global issues in alphabetical order. There are current issues highlighted in the middle of the page. Browse through them.
For your entry, describe a design someone could do for the Mini Me project based on a global issue. Answer the following questions:
Be ready to share your ideas with the whole group.
DON'T FORGET TO UPLOAD ANY JPEGS/PDF'S TO THE PRINT FOLDER. I AM SENDING IT OUT AT THE END OF 6TH HOUR TODAY. (FOR PERSONAL PRINTS AND/OR FOR THE ART SHOW).
Things to do:(Last week of the Marking Period, last day is Friday!)

For your entry, describe a design someone could do for the Mini Me project based on a global issue. Answer the following questions:
- What global issue did you pick?
- What would the Giant be doing?
- What would the Minions be doing?
- What would the background or setting be?
Be ready to share your ideas with the whole group.

Things to do:(Last week of the Marking Period, last day is Friday!)
- Finish Perspective Grid project- check it against the Design checklist AND have another D2 student give you feedback before you call it 'done'.
- Perspective Grid Weebly Post:
- An explanation of how you created it.
What gave you the most trouble?
What do you feel you learned or improved on the most with this project?
What is your favorite part of this design?
- An explanation of how you created it.
- Layer Mask Assignment- Choose any two jpegs (They should be 'related' in some way for unity.) Use a layer mask to create a slow transition somewhere between the two layers. (See examples on 3/15/19) It could be within one object, person, or animal or within the background. To receive full credit for this assignment, you need to demonstrate your ability to seamlessly combine two jpegs in some way, in a polished, artistic way. You will also need to upload both the jpeg and the .psd file (so I can look at your individual layers) to your Google Folder. While I am specifically looking at this as review for the layer mask, feel free to use adjustment layers as well to unify the colors of each jpeg so that it looks as one.

- Double Exposure tutorial- This link provides both a written step by step as well as a video version. Both may be helpful, but if you're like me and need to SEE it being done, scroll straight down to the video. Another Double Exposure tutorial from our PHLEARN buddy that goes a little more in depth on layer mask tricks. Worth the watch!
- Double Exposure Practice Assignment- Find two images from the web to practice this technique. Your goal is to use Layer Masks, Adjustment Layers, and Blend Modes to make the transitions between the two exposures as seamless as possible.
- Gradient Mapping Practice- (4/2/19)
- NEW! Double Exposure Project- Uses your own image for the main subject. Take a picture of a person or animal to use as one of your pictures, a head and shoulders shot with a simple, light background is preferred. You can use web images for the overlays (At least one, but you could use more.) There is a connection between the 'model' and the subject matter of the overlays. Adjustment layers (specifically Black and White and Levels, but you could use others) to 'sync' the photos color wise. Blend modes are used to combine the pictures. Modification of the pictures with Adjustment Layers and Layers masks are done in such a way that the pictures blend seamlessly AND the important features of each are still visible.

Bellwork: Title the entry, "Mini me article"
Read the short article and view the artist's creations. What do the photo montages mean or express?
Start thinking about will be your model for this project as you will be taking the pictures....or who will take the pictures of you and what will you be doing?
This one involves planning and sketching.....and some techniques we haven't covered yet that will make your job much easier.
If you are done with everything, start brainstorming/sketching ideas for what your large scale version will be doing and what your 10 mini-me's will be doing.
What will the message of your photo-montage be? A representation of an inner conversation? A comment on a social issue? A comment on a personal issue? Start thinking! We are diving in very soon!

Shadow Assignment
There are four short tutorials on the pdf below that will help you with the next assignment. They each show a different way to create realistic shadows. Watch them first.
For this assignment, you will create two different pictures, like the examples below.
- A shadow on a rough surface (Use displacement map).
- A shadow that bend up a wall or stairs (Use creative thinking, layer masks, gradients, and blurs, to determine how to pull this off). The information from the tutorials may be mashed together in order to achieve this.

(Sorry folks, the froggy voice on Friday exploded into yuck. I'm out today....Email me with questions or finished assignments or show me tomorrow. Ask each other for help, look to other 2nd/3rd year students for help, OR send me an email. I'll try to keep my phone handy.
Bellwork: Title the entry, "Selective Color Adjustment Layer"
Watch the video below. Start at 1 min 25 secs (the beginning just tells you where to find adjustment layers)
For your entry, use the image below and use a Selective Color Adjustment layer to correct it, mainly the Red channel ;) You may want to grab other adjustment layers too. I added a screenshot of my finished version to give you an idea of other adjustment layer you might use. Take a screenshot of your fixed version so I can see your layers and paste it in your journal for today. SHOW ME FOR CREDIT WHEN I COME BACK.

Another Double Exposure tutorial from our PHLEARN buddy that goes a little more in depth on layer mask tricks. Worth the watch!

- NEW! Double Exposure Project- Uses your own image for the main subject. Take a picture of a person or animal to use as one of your pictures, a head and shoulders shot with a simple, light background is preferred. You can use web images for the overlays (At least one, but you could use more.) There is a connection between the 'model' and the subject matter of the overlays. Adjustment layers (specifically Black and White and Levels, but you could use others) to 'sync' the photos color wise. Blend modes are used to combine the pictures. Modification of the pictures with Adjustment Layers and Layers masks are done in such a way that the pictures blend seamlessly AND the important features of each are still visible.

Monday, 4/8/19
Watch the tutorial and answer the questions below in your bellwork. If you have a pretty good understanding of how the Levels adjustment layer can be used to correct tone (on the RGB setting) then skip to the 3 min 25 sec mark and watch her correct color from there. It will be a review but it brings in new information.....color opposites.
Bellwork: Title it "Levels and Channels in the Levels Adjustment Layer"
What are the opposite colors of Red, Green, and Blue? List the pairs.

Things to do:
- Finish Perspective Grid project- check it against the Design checklist AND have another D2 student give you feedback before you call it 'done'.
- Perspective Grid Weebly Post:
- An explanation of how you created it.
What gave you the most trouble?
What do you feel you learned or improved on the most with this project?
What is your favorite part of this design?
- An explanation of how you created it.
- Layer Mask Assignment- Choose any two jpegs (They should be 'related' in some way for unity.) Use a layer mask to create a slow transition somewhere between the two layers. (See examples on 3/15/19) It could be within one object, person, or animal or within the background. To receive full credit for this assignment, you need to demonstrate your ability to seamlessly combine two jpegs in some way, in a polished, artistic way. You will also need to upload both the jpeg and the .psd file (so I can look at your individual layers) to your Google Folder. While I am specifically looking at this as review for the layer mask, feel free to use adjustment layers as well to unify the colors of each jpeg so that it looks as one.

Bellwork: Title your entry, "Double Exposure Project"
Explain your plan for the Double Exposure project:
Today you will take a break from your current project and join 1st year for the video on Select and Mask. It is the best I've found and clears up a lot of the issues we've had with it in the past. Not only will it refresh your memory and/or reteach the concept in a better way, but it will be useful for the next project....maybe even your Double Exposure.
Things to do:
Explain your plan for the Double Exposure project:
- Who are you use as your main subject/Who will you be taking pictures of?
- What additional images will you use for the overlays? Remember, they should relate to your main subject.
- Besides the Black and White Adjustment layer, what other adjustment layers do you anticipate using to modify the jpegs to look as though they are one? Artistically? (Gradient Mapping/Photo Filters/Color or Texture Overlays?)

We've used the Levels adjustment layer to correct tone and color.....but not Curves. After watching the tutorial, you should be able to see the difference and when you might pick one over the other.
Answer the questions below in your entry:
What is one main difference between Levels and Curves?
What is the "S" curve?
Choose an image a place a Curves adjustment layer on it. Experiment with the panel as you saw in the video. Show me for credit so I can see the layers then screenshot it and paste it into your journal. SHOW ME FOR CREDIT!

NEW ASSIGNMENT!
Watch the Adjustment layer review tutorials: Some review/reminders about shortcuts and techniques along with new information on each type of layer described (Black and White, Hue and Saturation, Brightness and Contrast, Vibrance) and which you'll be asked to use in the next assignment. You can skip through saving methods as we WILL ALWAYS USE AN ADJUSTMENT LAYER and not Image>Adjustments

1. Open 2 jpegs in Photoshop (Each in their own file.) Let's review
what to look for and do when choosing a photo....
your liking. At least one of the four should be the Black and White
Adjustment layer. You can use more than two if you'd like.
3. Use the layer masks within the Adjustment Layers to choose
specific areas of the jpeg to modify.
4. Change the Blend Mode of at least one layer per image.
5. Push your creativity and artistic eye to create something interesting.
This should take at least one class period.
I want to see the .psd files on this one. Call me over for credit when you are done.

Wednesday, 3/13/19
Today is a work day! Use this time wisely! Do not be distracted by other digital devices, other websites, or other classmates.
Your guest teacher is comfortable in Illustrator AND Photoshop as well as Graphic Design. Ask for feedback and/or help on your designs. Another pair of trained eyes is a gift!
Between your guest teacher, those near you and other 2nd/3rd year students in the room, you have plenty of help.
If you need personal help from me OR have some points to turn in, email me. I will try to respond ASAP.
If you are finished with everything, explore/experiment with the new tutorial links I discovered! You are advanced enough in Illustrator to be able to tackle some of these amazing projects.

Bellwork: Title the entry, "Photoshop Review #1"
In your entry explain how to unlock the background layer. If you can't remember, open Photoshop and try it.....or Google it.
Creation Time! As you create, keep the Design Checklist in mind.
DESIGN CHECKLIST
_________ Architecture is an original design and creative. Push yourself to go beyond the basic!
_________ Design is detailed. Buildings include details like windows, doors, decorative embellishments, etc.
Surface textures are taken into consideration. Shiny surfaces show reflections/glares.
Transparent surfaces reveal objects within/below with layers/opacity etc.
_________ Details and added objects are designed in a 3D manner to keep the form unified.
_________ Perspective is unified throughout the design. Added details on the buildings and in the
surrounding areas all follow the same perspective.
_________ Architecture fills the artboard. It can be a single building or multiple, but it should fill a majority of
the artboard allowing, of course, for space to include the surrounding environment. Keep it
balanced.
_________ Architecture should have more than one story/flight.
_________ Values on architecture, including all added details, demonstrate a light source and shadow
application that is consistent throughout the design. (Gradients/Fade to, Opacity
or Blend Modes (Screen, Multiply, Overlay) -found in Transparency Panel)

Post the JPEG of your independent project. You may want to post the RGB version for best quality on the screen.
In your blog post explain the following:
Side note: The Independent blog post is considered your Wrap Up. Make sure it is a complete entry with sources for the tutorials (all original pictures should be in your Google folder or in a Google Doc.) and answers the questions from the Blog prompt on 12/21. It is imperative to have it in order for me to grade your project. Also, only half credit is given for the animation post if the written prompt (12/20) is not included. Please take care of that business too.
Remember, these written excerpts are PUBLISHED to the universe! Please make sure to write in complete sentences. (Reread it to make sure it makes sense.)
Watch the videos below (They are short!) AND skim the links below (They are filled with picture examples) to refresh your memory on CRAP, White Space, and Hierarchy of Text (Think Menu's and SHOUT poster from last year.) Your next project AND your final exam will be based on these principles of graphic design.

No Bellwork! But be ready to listen to the Scholastic chat/demo given to 1st year as you will be going through the same process.
Scholastic Chat/demo
Scholastic Chat/demo
ORIGINALITY - Work that challenges conventions, blurs the boundaries between genres, and shifts notions of how a particular concept or emotion can be expressed. Jurors are encouraged to look for works of art that surprise them and leave a lasting impression
PERSONAL VISION - Work with an authentic and unique point of view and style.
.
TECHNICAL SKILL - Work that uses a technique to advance an original perspective or a personal vision, and show skills being utilized to create something unique, powerful, and innovative. Exhibition of technical skill alone should not be rewarded unless it’s exercised in the service of expressing an idea that is unique, powerful, and innovative and helps to highlight the artist’s vision.
Above is the 2018 artwork awarded National Medals in the Michigan Thumb Art Region.

Bellwork: Title it "Hour Goal"
For your entry, set a realistic goal of what you want to accomplish today. Have a design plan for independent project? Create a Scholastic Account? Upload a past assignment?
We HAVE to have our designs uploaded, forms signed by parents, and ready to go BEFORE you leave for break. While your current independent project is meant to be one submission, you may have some from prior years you'd like to submit. If you think they fit the criteria outlined in the video on Wednesday, we can talk about entering in more than one piece. (Surrealism from last year? Representational design? Menu? SHOUT flyer? Texture Overlay? Christmas Gradient Mesh? Typography?)
To get a head start on the process, you may want to go to the Online Registration Site to create an account and get all of your information entered.
If you finish with something today, send me an email to tell me it's in your Google Folder OR attach the .ai file and I'll get the points in this weekend. Zeros are going in this weekend for Gradient Mesh.
If you get stuck, ask those around you for help....then try the 2nd/3rd year people.....then, if everyone is stumped, email me! I will have my phone nearby and will try to get back to you ASAP.

If you think they fit the criteria outlined in the video on Wednesday, we can talk about entering in more than one piece. (Surrealism from last year? Representational design? Menu? SHOUT flyer? Texture Overlay? Christmas Gradient Mesh? Typography?)
To get a head start on the process, you may want to go to the Online Registration Site to create an account and get all of your information entered.
If you finish with something today, send me an email to tell me it's in your Google Folder OR attach the .ai file and I'll get the points in this weekend. Zeros are going in this weekend for Gradient Mesh.
If you get stuck, ask those around you for help....then try the 2nd/3rd year people.....then, if everyone is stumped, email me! I will have my phone nearby and will try to get back to you ASAP.

Congratulations to those chosen for the video and silent auction next week! It was not an easy decision! If you have not done so, please upload your finished/edited final jpeg to your weebly site.
If you were not able to finish in time, make sure you complete your design. It is still a project grade.
Things to do:
Use this entry to explain some possible themes you wish to explore. You can list more than one. You may even change or morph your message as you research and create. List some possibilities for now. If you don't have a theme or message, use this time to explore. (Look here and here and here to help inspire some ideas. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO CHOOSE SOMETHING FROM THESE LISTS! USE THEM AS EXAMPLES OF STRONG THEMES AND/OR A KICKSTART TO YOUR OWN IDEA.)
Some other topics to research that might spark an idea would be:
Look to other fine arts for inspiration:

Look to other fine arts for inspiration:
- quotes from movies, poems, songs to illustrate
- book or movie story lines that you twist into a new concept (i.e What if the pigs stalked the wolf? What if King Kong was a bunny instead?)
- Listen to a song and close your eyes.....What images do you see in your head? Could you turn that into a well designed piece of art with a strong message?

Bellwork: Title your entry, "Added Details"
Look closely at the images below. The lava lamp was made in Illustrator with Gradient Mesh. The close up is an example of adding details ON TOP of a mesh by creating a new layer. The artist deliberately wanted the mesh to shine through as well so she either turned down the opacity or used a blend mode.
In your gradient mesh objects, where can you add details ON TOP of the mesh (blended or not) in order to make it as realistic as possible. NOTE: not all meshes will need added details, but some should.

Copy and Paste the reminders below into your journal. Creating space and depth in your Christmas design is part of your Design Checklist.
ALSO, SOMETIME BEFORE THE END OF THE HOUR TUESDAY, WATCH BOTH OF THE VIDEOS BELOW ON THE 'CURVATURE' TOOL.
You do NOT want to miss this beauty! It was added last year and I missed it. It could change how you create! Each video shows you a different way to use it. Watch both!
Copy and Paste the reminders below into your journal. Creating space and depth in your Christmas design is part of your Design Checklist.
- Objects that are closest to the audience (foreground) are bigger and often near the bottom of the design.
- Objects that are farther back in the design (middle ground and background) are smaller and are placed further up the page in the design....the farther away, the higher it goes.
- Overlapping objects creates the illusion of depth.
- Highlights (from a light source) and shadows (creeping away from the light source) create depth.
- Objects in the background lose saturation of color and detail the farther away it is.

Copy and Paste the following tip into your journal entry.
If you have overlapping or separate meshes that you want to seamlessly blend, try feathering the edges (Stylize > Feather). While a blur might work, it also makes the shape transparent. Fuzzing up the edges only should do the trick.

You will be responsible for commenting on AT LEAST TWO DIFFERENT BLOGS. This time, take a screenshot (print screen) of the comment BEFORE you post it and paste it into an email to me.
The comments need to be emailed to me by Friday (11/16/18) The link for the sites can be found above in the description for this class.
The etiquette for blog comments is the same as if we were critiquing on a Google Sheet.
POSSIBLE COMMENT TOPICS:

The comments need to be emailed to me by Friday (11/16/18) The link for the sites can be found above in the description for this class.
The etiquette for blog comments is the same as if we were critiquing on a Google Sheet.
- Keep it respectful and supportive.
- Be specific with your comments and suggestions.
- Try not to get defensive. Be open to the suggestions. Explore the idea, then, make a decision as an artist whether to revise or keep 'as is'.
- Make sure no one is left out. As you start to think about who gets your second post, look for blogs that don't have a comment yet.
POSSIBLE COMMENT TOPICS:
For a 2nd year blog
- Analyze the typography image posted. Is it recognizable as the original object? What suggestions can you give as to adding details or changing of colors to help it along?
- What is a strength in this design? Be specific.
- Are they missing anything from the Design Checklist? How can it be added?
For a 3rd year blog
- Analyze the Illustrated Photography image posted for Unity. What suggestions do you have to help the vector and the pixel designs seamlessly blend to become one design.
- What suggestions do you have of additional vector or pixel images that could be added to this design?
- What suggestions do you have in regards to space and depth? shadows and highlights?
- What strengths do you see in this design? Be specific.

Bellwork: Title your entry "Anchor tip to Remember!!!!"
Copy and paste the following tip into your journal:
After you have created your basic shape and modified it to fit a section of your design as close as you can with the anchors that came with the basic shape, DON'T ADD ANCHORS TO MODIFY IT FURTHER!! YOU'LL GET TANGLE MESHES. Instead add meshes to your slightly modified basic shape and then adjust those anchors with your direct selection tool to perfect the shape!

The next major project will be largely based on the gradient mesh tool and creating photorealistic objects in Illustrator. In order to get comfortable with the tool, you will practice with 3 small assignments first.
Each assignment has a video tutorial that you can watch first and then do or watch and pause and do as she creates. Your assignment is to create what she creates in each video. Watch and listen carefully as she imparts some good information AND some great shortcuts! Future bellwork questions will be pulled from these tutorials......LISTEN!!
Gradient Mesh Assignment #1 (Create the sphere & rectangle as she does. I'll need to check this for credit in Illustrator (the .ai file) Call me over when it is completed to receive instant credit THEN jpeg it.
Tutorial Link- Basic Shapes
Gradient Mesh Assignment #2 (Create the "S" exactly as she does. I'll need to check this for credit in Illustrator (the .ai file) Call me over when it is completed to receive instant credit THEN jpeg it.
Tutorial Link- Complex Shapes
Gradient Mesh Assignment #3 (You need the jpeg below for this one.) Create the Orange Pepper as vector art exactly as she creates it. I'll need to check this for credit in Illustrator (the .ai file) Call me over when it is completed to receive instant credit THEN jpeg it.

Bellwork: For your bellwork time today, I want you to look through and read the blog posts of your fellow 2nd and 3rd year students. You will be responsible for commenting on AT LEAST TWO DIFFERENT BLOGS. Take a screenshot (print screen) of the comment you posted and paste it into your journal. The comments need to be posted by next Friday (10/5/18) The link for the sites can be found above in the description for this class.
The etiquette for blog comments is the same as if we were critiquing on a Google Sheet.

All done with everything?
Use this time to start an Independent project in Illustrator. Something to print? Something to give as a gift? Something for the upcoming Scholastics Art Competition?
The etiquette for blog comments is the same as if we were critiquing on a Google Sheet.
- Keep it respectful and supportive.
- Be specific with your comments and suggestions.
- Try not to get defensive. Be open to the suggestions. Explore the idea, then, make a decision as an artist whether to revise or keep 'as is'.
- Make sure no one is left out. As you start to think about who gets your second post, look for blogs that don't have a comment yet.
POSSIBLE COMMENT TOPICS:
- Follow the link to the tutorial. Scan through it. Ask clarifying questions. What needs more explanation than what the tutorial gives?
- Ask questions about any required information from the post. Did they specify what level the tutorial is? (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced) Did they rate the tutorial for how easy to understand it is? (How many star out of five) Did they provide a link to the tutorial?
- Ask clarifying questions about the post. Is there something the author said that doesn't make sense? Needs more information?
- Give a suggestion about how this technique could be used in an original design.

Bellwork: Title it, "Pretest Inspiration" and date it.
List at least five places you have been or would like to go.....anywhere in the world......or universe ;)
I know this is interrupting your Type Artboard, but I have to grab what you know now to compare what you learn this year before I teach you any new tricks. Sorry for the jump around.
For your pretest you will:
Create a scene using only Illustrator- (Stuck for ideas, think of things you did over the summer or places you went OR think of a place and do a Google Image search for a PHOTOGRAPH of that destination to use for a reference (not a Live Trace!)
The scene should include:
This is your opportunity to show off your current level of expertise with Illustrator so you are by no means limited to the above bulleted points. You can delve into other areas we studied last year. However, make sure you do your best to demonstrate what you CAN do in these areas.
The file will be saved as an .ai file AND a jpeg and placed in a Pretest folder I'll share with you later this week.
You will have this week to complete it to your satisfaction. Let me know when you are done.
If finished early, return to finish Type Review Artboard, Font questions, weebly site, blog post, or BTS tutorial.

The scene should include:
- depth/space through overlapping, large to small, faded colors/details as objects go FAR back. (You wouldn't see the last technique in an interior space because it's not that deep.)
- light source
- gradients and shapes to create shadows (the illusion of 3D)
- show understanding of the pen tool

Today you will create a blog page on your site. Your first post will include the following (not necessarily in this order) but in paragraph form, a beginning statement, a middle, and an end. Do not simply list your answers. Use details to support your ideas so your audience gets a clear picture of what you are trying to describe. Think carefully about your spelling and grammar. Use complete sentences and punctuation. This is going public so you want to make sure this is a polished version of your thoughts.
I will give a short demo on how to get the blog page going. In the meantime, you can create your post in a Google Doc then simply copy and paste. Otherwise, you are welcome to research or experiment in the site itself to get going. (Go to Pages then + then blog page)
Include in your post:
1. The link to the tutorial you chose.
2. The exported JPEG from that tutorial. If your colors are off-save
your .ai file as RGB and export a new jpeg.....title it RGB so you
know which is which.
3. Describe in detail what areas or techniques in the tutorial gave you
the most trouble. Also, in order to help others, describe how you
solved the problem. (If the tutorial was breezy for you, describe an
area that might cause others problems with tips how to get through
it.)
4. Describe something new you learned either about the tutorial or
something within this new version of Illustrator that is different from
the way you are used to do that technique.
5. Review the tutorial itself, like a Rotten Tomato review :)

#2 Making Shapes link
- To refresh your memory in basic Illustrator, you will begin by choosing a tutorial from the link below to follow and create. Do not expect to finish all in one day.
- While I will be teaching you new techniques in small group, there will times when I am teaching 1st year students and cannot immediately come to your aid. Use this time to reacquaint yourself with Illustrator basics, but also to become independent learners.
- If you are stuck, use Adobe Help or Google to find your answer...or ask a fellow 2nd year student. If all else fails, move on to a different area until Design 1 students are independent and I can help you.
