LUNCH BREAK

1:30 pm Peer crit write up. You will positively critique each member of your table group [ONLY POSITIVE] plus three other WASHers of your choosing, anonymously. These will be submitted to me. I will type them up (with NO authors' names) and you will receive yours on Wednesday ~ 7pm. Your critique should give specific examples or experiences to support your statement. They may range from being about your peer's work, process, participation at table, personal experiences, about personality, attitudes, etc. They should be very specific. No using words like cool, sweet, awesome, etc...these are vague and actually somewhat meaningless.

Confirm all works are labeled with artist/designer/animator's name and project

VISUAL JOURNALS: Morgues due Monday

REMINDER: your morgue should include images of your projects, process pictures, preliminary sketches, proposals, printout some crit write ups, storyline, etc. If necessary, add pages. 

Blogs should be completed with inclusion of Big idea project and crit write up. 

If I asked you to bring pictures for exhibition and they are in my possession (office), then bring white foam board, exacto with blades, and spray mount. Don't forget to bring hardware necessary to mount your work. it should be unobtrusive (not really visible). 

Now that is mark making (Tony Orrico: Penwald)
