Welcome to Semester 2!

Okay Grade 12s, get ready for a full and exciting semester.

First step. Make a new blog.
This is your grade 12 graphics blog. Make it clean. Make it presentable and professional. This is a display of your work, your ideas, your inspirations.

WEEKLY BLOG POSTINGS:

Inspiration/idea/discovery/sharing
You will be required to post a new blog entry each week that will be checked every Friday - starting tomorrow!
Here are the guidelines:
1. Tips and tricks: Find a tutorial from a website on using some software - could be Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, or could be freeware that you discover.
2. Life observation: Written posting on something you saw, noticed, felt, thought about - could be a movie you saw, the way the light hit the telephone wires, anything that triggers some creative thought. Write about it and let us know.
3. Inspiration through other artists: Find a link to a website, or a book and let us know who the artist is and why they inspire you.

You must have an even dispersement of all three of those postings through the semester. Due each Friday. I will be checking that it's done and evaluating the care, time spent and detail for your entries mid-way through the semester. Date to be announced.

This is for homework!
