Next Week's Project

Hi all,

Happy snow day! Here's your homework for next week. Please read it through carefully, and contact me if you have any questions:

1.) Starting today, track down at least five different PAPER news clippings or articles of interest to you, which could serve as a spark for your work. These can be found in any Print Newspaper (NY Times, Chicago Tribune, RedEye, etc. etc.) or in Print Magazines like New Scientist, National Geographic, Newsweek, or other such sources, which you can find/photocopy in the library. You'll need to bring in cut out or photocopied paper copies of all of these for next week's class. These can be on any topic and can be any length, but the important thing is that you're interested in the characters or the CONTENT enough that you could make an artwork based on each one.

2.) Post one article per day to our course blog over the course of the week. You can post digital copies, or scan/photograph the article and post that. Post one per day (starting today), not all five at the end (!)

Include your own comment about the news piece, and an image and/or link. Note that you'll need to the litle "link" icon in your blogger window to hyperlink any selected text -- simply typing in the address won't do it.

You should all have passwords (or a way to retrieve them) from last semester, or will have gotten an e-mail invitation through blogger from me on Wednesday. If you have any trouble with this, contact me ASAP so that I can help you out in time.

See you this Friday, and next Wednesday!
