Final Grades

Final Grades

For your Final, you will be turning in a folder on the server, which will include

1. scans, or photographs of all your finished projects,
2. your artist research papers (if you have questions about how many you need to do, NOW is the time to ask).   
3. You will label your folder with “lastname_firstname_final” and place it in our classroom folder. There will be a folder to place it in that is marked "Final".  
4. You will also place a copy of this folder in the dropbox on the folder.
5. You will also be handing in your sketchbooks  so I can see the progress you have made on your in class assignments.  I will be giving you a grade for your sketchbook assignments that is equivalent to roughly 200 points

Sketchbooks will be graded for overall content (sketches, notes, assignment sheets, research, images, etc) and also for organization and construction.

To begin: 

1. You will need to Photograph or scan your images using one of the many scanners that are available to you in the mac-labs and in the library.  If you prefer to photograph your works, that is fine too.

2. You will edit and adjust the images to make sure they look professional using Photoshop of the photo editing software of your choosing. Your images should be 300 dpi and sized about 8x10.  You will need one image per weekly assignment.Each image should be named “Lastname_Assignment title.” 

3. Create a folder (on your desktop or somewhere handy).  Drop your four word.doc artist research papers in the folder, then your edited images in the folder as well.  If you didn't complete your four artist research at midterm, you will need to submit up to 8 artist research papers to get credit for the entire assignment. You should have images for the following.

THIS IS ALL DUE BY $ p.m.  Monday May 2.  If you think this is unreasonable, or have reasons why you cannot complete this task, please email me or contact me via phone, Facebook, etc etc so we can figure out what to do to accommodate.

P_009 Graffiti Monster
Observation/Composition/Balance/Color Application

Goal: Choose one interesting composition from the graffiti on the work tables in Studios one, two or three (ONLY) and make that into a piece made up totally of cut paper.

Use a viewfinder and your camera to record the original. You will need a copy of this for your critique. (Take a picture of the graffiti you have chosen as subject matter with your viewfinder in place.  Using one of the “fiery” printers, print it and bring to crit.) Failure to present the original image in photographic print form WITH viewfinder in place will result in 1/3 deduction from your grade. No details may be added or subtracted. Graffiti from other places will NOT be accepted.

Procedure: Make yourself a viewfinder from a sheet of regular copy paper. It should be a 4 1/2 x 6". This is directly proportional to what will be your finished size of 18x24".

Color: You will also interpret this composition in color. All colors are open, but your choice in colors must support the imagery you chose to work on. How do your color choices help? The colors may be exaggerated or otherworldly if the composition calls for it. It is completely your decision.

Your own graffiti is not allowed. This would be considered as cheating.

No white paper may show through from picture plane. (white paper may be added)

May be presented either horizontal or vertical

Picture plane: 18x24" Bristol
Ground sheet 22x30" Bristol
