BSCC - Week 7 Prep

yay. week 6 was cool.. we followed the agenda pretty close, and finished right on time! i really enjoyed giving and getting some critique on panel/page layout... I really value everyones comments! yay

Sorry that I was pretty mean about make everyone write down your comments. The idea was that the writing down would encourage people to be more specific and detail oriented... did it work? hmmm (please give me some suggestions for the future! =3)


Next class...
LOCATION AND TIME: 10:30 am - 12:30 pm @ Red Rock Cafe (8/21/2010)

Homework for Week 7

1. Read the next chapter... Ch7
2. Complete Ch 6 HW (page 84)
3. Show and Tell: bring in a comic that something special about it's lettering. (no essay this time)
   

Extra Credit:

1. Do the activity in Ch 6.2. It is really important! Here is a video to guide you.
2. If you want the group to give critique on your works.. bring in a copy for someone to take home (could be like.. a print out.. or a link or a digital copy).

Agenda for Week 7

1. HW review.. (30 min)
2. Discussion about core chapter (20 min)
3. Show and Tell: with a focus on lettering (20 min)
4. Break (10 min)
5. Activity: A comic with no pictures (40 pm)

*note: we probably can not finish this last activity in the alloted time.. so finishing it will be HW.

Supplies:

So... from here on out, it seems like that the list of supplies needed is long. I am not going to list them out every time, because 1) the list is not going to change for a while.. and 2) i don't know if people will bring them regardlessly. I think most people might not even own all the supplies! After all, most people use the computer for everything. So just bring what you can and do what you think would help you get the most of this class.

Traditional vs digital.. personally.. im going to try to stick to the book.. I will have plenty of time to "try other things" later. Since I am studying the book now, might as well try to go all the way.

The "Official" Supplies list from the Book:

• Ames Lettering Guide
• mechanical pencil
• T-square
• bristol board
• pens (technical pens, nib pens (if you know how to use them), or pigment markers)
• beveled ruler
• sheet of bristol board (at least 14″ x 17″ in size)
• triangle

• graphic white or white acrylic or gouache for corrections
