Learning Opportunities

  1. Project 1

    1. Grades are in.
    2. You have until Dec. 13 to resubmit for a higher grade.
      1. Highest of the two grades wins.
      2. Not mandatory.
  2. Project 2 (Due 12/13/2019 *NEW DUE DATE*)

    1. If I approved your personalized rubric, then that's your Project 2 Rubric.
    2. If I did not approve your rubric (Homework is more than a grade in this classroom...) then your rubric is as follows:
      1. ► Finished image should have at least three iterations of the artist.
      2. ► The artist should be doing different activities throughout the scene. (Three versions of the artist standing still and facing the camera is not very exciting.) (Running amuck is highly recommended.)
      3. ► Edits should not be obvious. (No implied lines where one artist image was cut out of a photo and pasted into another.)
      4. ► Finished image should be a PNG file and should be 625x1000 pixels minimum allowed.)
      5. Video editor crash course
      6. Cloning video tutorial here
      7. Very large photos can be too much for the older computers. If your image editor is crashing, try scaling your photos to just over the minimum pixel size listed in the rubric. See the image below to find the image scaling option.
  3. Exit Ticket (Auto-posted to Google Classroom at 3:40pm.)

    1. What did you accomplish today that gets you closer to completing Project 2? "Nothing" and answers similar to "Nothing" will not earn you credit.
  4. HOMEWORK
    1. 12-03: List 3-5 ideas for projects you think might work for Project 3.
    2. 12-05: Pick one of the ideas you brainstormed for today and list 6-8 things you plan to accomplish when working on that project.
    3. 12-09: Narrow your list assigned on 12-05 down to four specific requirements that can be used as a grading rubric.
