Supplies for class: October 30

Hello everyone,

the supplies needed for Thursday are as follows.


Collages

Sketchbooks,(not the news print pads we've been using so far they should be bound books like the ones I brought in and showed you. White drawing paper. Cheap is fine. )

Drawing Pencils 6b,4b,2b,HB (these numbers refer to the softness of the graphite.)

Graphite stick ( 2b or softer)

Kneaded eraser or 'magic rub' eraser

Ruler (any good straight edge will do)

Sharpener

Thanks see you all tomorrow.

Supplies for class tomorrow

Dear Class

Sorry for the short notice on this folks. Do the best you can. There will probably be extra stuff so don't stress or feel like you have to spend a lot. Do this "cheap, like the budgey."

For tomorrow (we're going to make collages) I would like everyone to bring the following:

Metro Santa Cruz (free) or Newspapers

Scissors, exact-o knife will work too

Photos, torn out of magazines enough to cover a big sheet of paper.

Cut- out type-lettering, taken out of newspapers or magazines, take pages with words you find poetic, ironic, or beautiful or strange.

Text, same as above but you can grab the whole page of smaller text, select for tone of grey the text makes either light or dark

Glue stick, this is the handiest to work with, White glue will work too

Markers: any kind of magic marker to add some color to your work, crayons will do or colored pencil

Illustration board : anything stiff that will hold up to some glue-poster board if you can't find it I'll have something for you.

If you get a creative urge and want to bring in any substitutions follow your bliss ( i.e. fabric, foil, wall-paper, bits of fur feathers. what else? However, NO GLITTER!!! ask any stage manager why. ) There is really no formula for collage, right?

Any questions email me tonight.


Thanks Everybody!

How To and How NOT to email work

You MUST include the file name of what you are sending in the subject line of a NEW message (no more files sent as replies to other emails)

• examples of wrong subject names:
  
  • too generic: reading notes, group notes, hwk, metaphor notes
    
  • any files attached as replies to other emails
    
  
  
• examples of correct subject lines:
  
  • assignment or reading specific MUST be: mt_jones_mary.doc, r_1014_trans.doc
    
  • general: question about whatever
    
  • name of your group or individual needs to meet with you
    

Your file MUST be named accurately (files will no longer be opened/renamed/read/graded if they are named incorrectly)

• examples of incorrect file names:
  
  • bad extensions are anything other than word docs for mac including: docx, txt, pdf etc
    
  • notes.doc, metaphor.doc behindscreendoor.doc
    
  
  
• examples of correct file names:
  
  • mt_jones_mary.doc, r_1014_trans.doc
