Last week class was on inking via the "traditional nib pens." And it is the last week that we are working on the kind of painful story about the brat name Chip and his cookie eating ways.

so... starting this coming sat.. we are going to be turning over a new page and be working on "the good stuff": creating our own story.. and then working on it! Yay!

We are moving on from the fundamentals!


Homework for Week 9

* Chip comic - you don't have to finish it by this week. You can have an extra week to do it. So please bring it for Sept 18th if your not finished.

1. HW review (20 min)
   
2. Discussion about core chapter material (10 min)
3. Activity: Analyze this Page 132 (20 min)
4. Break (10 min)
   
5. Activity: TV Writer Page 135 (40 min)
6. Going over the next HW Page 136 (10 min)

I won't be there this weekend. Will be camping. =( so sad
Notes for Mike:

1. HW review guide is on page 242. If someone put in the time to do this assignment, it was painful. So the least we can do is to really give them the time during class to critique the work.
2. This chapter's material should not be "news" to anyone. So it can be quick to review. Just an open discussion of "after thoughts" would be good
3. Same as number point 2. Should be an casual open discussion
4. break...
5. TV Writer, I think the key the book is pushing is repetition. I know if Steve if there, it will be tons of fun. Have fun!
6. IMPORTANT: This is the first stage of a project that will last through the end of the book. So don't f it up.. or u will be suffering for a looooong time.
