It looks as if my blogger account has been hacked or some such thing.  Every time I update it for the course the images disappear.  I will find a new means of posting the images.  We will review this in class tonight.  There will be a quiz on Wednesday the 18th and a test on Monday 23rd.  The paper is due next wednesday the 25th.  I will pass out the requirements for the paper tonight as there has been some confusion.

Intro



The paper must be two pages in length.  Page one will be facts you have researched on a given designer.  Page two will be your opinion of the designer and works.  You will be graded on spelling and grammar.  You will also be graded on your ability to separate fact from opinion.  DUE DATE NOV. 10.

The paper must be 10 point Times New Roman...because I said so. Site your sources.  NO WIKIPEDIA!

You must submit the paper on PAPER.  No digital copies will be accepted.

Overview: Blog

The blog will contain images that may appear on the test. They will appear as follows:


Artist: Alphonse Mucha
Title: "Princess Hyacinth"
Media: Lithograph
Link: http://www.muchafoundation.org/

There will be additional facts provided in class that you will be required to take notes on.  If the information is green, that means that it will be part of the image identification part of the test as seen below.


Artist: Alphonse Mucha
Title: "Princess Hyacinth"
Media: Lithograph

If something appears in red, then it will be included on the test, but not in the image identification portion of the test as seen below.

Links are purely for your own enjoyment.  If I do not mention it in class or if it isn't part of a reading assignment, it won't be on the test.

Overview: Tests

There will be a mid term and final.  The final only covers what is discussed from mid term on.  If you fail the mid term, speak with me about an extra writing assignment.  Tests will be given on a Monday.  The previous Wed. will be an open study time where you can use notes, the text or the internet to answer the questions.  That evening the questions and answers will be posted on line for you to study.
