Re: Mallory Sub Lessons for Tuesday

ADDENDUM/Change to Mallory Sub Plans:
Apparently none of my Painting students met their rough draft deadlines, so we need an extra day to work on their papers.

Mallory      Sub Lessons           Tues. 4/20/2010

1. Digital Photography
Students should use class time to make corrections/revisions to their formal writing assignments. Once they are finished, they may also retouch pictures or work on composite images in Photoshop. Final drafts are due tomorrow.

2. Drawing
Students should use class time to work on their formal written assignments, either narrowing their search for a drawing to analyze or using the questions on their handout to write the paper. They may borrow laptops from Mrs. Hanigan if they need to (we had some trouble with our newtwork hubs in the graphics lab yesterday)

4. 7th Grade art
Silent D.E.A.R. reading time 11:30-11:45am.
Students will continue working on their superimposed-perspective cubist portraits which they began yesterday. They should be working all hour. 

5. Painting
Students can begin working on their acrylic cubist paintings. It's important that they clean their brushes and palates thoroughly. Students should use class time to finish their formal writing assignments/painting analysis papers.

6. Yearbook
Students should be working on pages on http://yearbookavenue.jostens.com or use time wisely as a studyhall for other classes. Students with nothing else to do should:
Check captions on pages for spelling
Identify students in pictures in the image gallery, or by right-clicking and chosing "show in image gallery" pictures on layouts with exclamation points on them.
 
7. Drawing I
Independent Study student Melissa Hanigan may:
Work on her surrealist drawing.
Select a new exercise from the choice-board drawings in the black metal magazine holder on the island.
Use time as a studyhall for another class

Mr. Mallory's Theory of Everything

Truly, this could probably go on forever. Just the "Utility" bubble alone could branch off indefinitely. In fact, that may be a good lesson, to have kids brainstorm as many uses for art as possible (and thereby also art-related vocations).
