Monday, 4/5 in Art I

Today we're planning a sketch that you will eventually turn into a linoleum print. Essentially a linoleum print is like a very large rubber stamp that you can print many times. Here is a powerpoint that I showed in class today.

Tuesday, 4/6 in Cartooning

Today we're working toward the deadline of having a full page comic (on 14 x 17 bristol board) penciled and inked by Monday, April 12th.

How will they be graded?

The lettering in straight, even, not cramped, and easy to read.
The inking is neat with thoughts toward 50% white and 50% black.
The story telling includes a spark, conflict escalation, and a resolution.
The protagosist is clear and we can feel/relate to them.
The coloring looks balanced and attractive.
