This weekend's homework:

DRAW TOYS!

Pick one or more objects that have dimension and are universally recognizeable as toys (i.e., baby dolls, dump trucks, barbies, older action figures, legos, doll houses, instruments, etc.). Use antique toys if they are available to you--Goodwill is a good place to get random things to draw, including toys.

Draw your toy over the weekend (in graphite?) and bring in the toy, along with your drawing, on Monday for critique.

New digital submission info:

New information for students about the online portfolio submission process. Please click on the link and read the information, and then comment on this post so that I know you have seen it.

From what I have read, the format is set up as follows:

1. You will receive a unique login (from me) for your portfolio and for our class at EHS. We should receive this information and begin using the online system early next semester.
2. You will keep your portfolio online and regularly upload pieces as they are completed.
3. Once your portfolios are complete and final, you will send them to me, and I will approve and transmit them to College Board for you.
4. If your portfolio is not complete or slides are improperly shot and/or edited, I can send it back to you for resubmission.
5. You will write your essay online and submit it along with your digital slides.
6. You will absolutely need to plan on finishing your portfolio by the end of April in case something goes wrong in the submission process or in case you need to re-shoot anything.
7. I will submit all portfolios, finished or not, by the May 8th deadline.

Please let me know if you have questions!
