Last 3 1/2 Weeks of the Fall Semester

#1 - You have until Dec 6, to print 5 GOOD prints of your large lino – and print 5 each of your small linos. All printed to the level of a Printmaking I student according to the rubric I am including in the STUFF links. Please look at it. Get this done, and you will have a week to make a 4X6 lino and print 10 Christmas cards. This will be some quick printing practice – use holly, lettering, Christmas ornaments, etc. seasonal and small – 4X6(and I have green and red envelopes too) – more on these later.
#2 - Your final exam for this semester will be to write your Artist Statement - I've posted the entire assignment (found a new cool GADGET called pages - it's in the upper right corner above the blog lists - it's called STUFF). I'll also give you a printed copy. I will post websites where you can read other artist's statements and you can read mine also. The Artist Statement can be quite a journey into why we do what we do! It will be due on Dec. 17 at the beginning of class. We will listen to each other pour out our souls in class - not really, but let's be brave and read a few!

#3 - I'm not sure exactly what the exam schedule is, but if it's like last year, 1, 2 and 3 will be Wed. Dec 18. 

If your grade, grades and attendance allow you to be exempt from this class, all of your stuff  - the papers, supplies you’ve borrowed, containers, inks, tools, etc, and your drawer must be cleaned out, stuff trashed, repacked, neatened up or whatever. Also your drawer key must be checked into the box. You need to have this done before you leave school on Dec.17 (not during this class), in order to be exempt. 

I'll need to check you off the list because it will be a grade!!

#4 The rubric (grading sheet) for the large lino prints is in STUFF also - you need one for each set of prints - big and small - shells and whatever else you have done- these need to be printed out and when you grade yourself, turn it in so I can grade it. We will go over this in class.
