BSCC - Week 5 Prep

LOCATION AND TIME: 10:30 am - 12:30 pm @ Red Rock Cafe (8/7/2010)
(2 hours only)

Please complete these before class

1. Reading of CH 5
2. Closure comics (Chapter 4)
3. Self critique of your HW comic (read the HW critique section on the bottom of this page first)
   

Reminders about the HW:
Just to do thumbnails, not finished pages. But please make them "full" enough to be critiqued.

Supplies you will need:

• bristol board
• office paper
• tracing paper
• ruler

Collectively, this list is what we call “penciling tools”

• graphite pencils: B, HB, and H types
• erasable colored pencils, especially “light blue” ones
• erasers: white plastic and kneaded types
• mechanical pencil

Optional: Bring any thumbnails you might have that you’re struggling to pencil

Note on supplies:
"It’s not so tough to come up with a pencil, but as we go on with the book, having the proper supplies on the proper day will be more and more important so as not to disrupt class with lots of trading, or drag a demo down with too many students who can’t follow along."



Agenda for Class 5

1. 30min - HW Review from Chapter 4
   
2. 30min - Open Discussion on Ch5 Core Material (Pitfalls, Strategies, Tools, and your own experiences. Share any penciling samples you might have brought)
