Design & Visual Communications

Our first full week in almost a month!!! What to do with all that time??? I know! We can be incredibly busy learning amazing things and showing off everything that we've learned so far! So, DVCIers, here are our goals for this week, the last week of the quarter:

1. We will draw everyday for 30 minutes. I will give you each a drawing assignment. You will be graded on effort and progress. Have fun.
2. You will finish up your photo unit by creating a series of photos that demonstrate your knowledge for shooting landscapes, sports or action photography, informal portrait photography, still life and your understanding for how to control depth of field. (We'll do studio work later on, when I can get the second softbox I need.)
3. You will learn to professionally mount and frame your best photos to hang on the wall.
4. You will begin to learn about Photoshop. This means some vocabulary words. Prepare to learn what RGB, CMYK, RAW, TIFF, JPG, DPI, resolution, hard-copy and file-size mean.
5. You will (finally) meet up with your partners at GMTCC. You will show them some of your stuff and they will show you some of theirs. They are ahead of us in stuff produced because they are in a one year, 5 hour/day program. Take the time to learn from them.
6. If the god's smile in our favor, you will be taking a field trip to Burlington to participate in the VT Tech Jam. This all depends on whether we can get a bus or not. If I can't get a bus, then just DVCII will go and you guys will go another time.
