You need to be where you're supposed to be

Mr. Straight let the faculty know today that students need to be where they are scheduled to be, and he reminded us that students are not to be in any computer labs without adult supervision. I don't know if there have been problems with students from other classes too, or if the Art room is the only problem- but I need you to be where you're supposed to be, including during lunch, D.E.A.R., P.E. and study hall times.

If you need to ask me something about one of my classed or cheer, or if you need tutoring for a social studies class, you need to check in for attendance with your DEAR or Study Hall teacher first and get a pass to come seem me, and you can't just hang out to avoid being somewhere else. Sorry.

If you want advice or an adult to listen to stuff that's stressing you out, I certainly want to be available- before & after school, by email or facebook, but I'm afraid the Art Room and the Yearbook Lab can't just be your personal lounge. Thank you for understanding.

WE'RE CONNECTED!

Good news Web Design and Yearbook students- Mr. Hinze, the new tech guy got all the computers on the East side of the to Graphics Lab to connect to the network and therefore the Web!!! So there shouldn't be anymore fighting over who gets a computer!

Webheads; Finishing out the Semester

Between health issues, Caitlin's Academy class, Nick's cattle business, Brianna's baby, and no doubt soon to be occasional inclement weather- we may not always be able to meet as regularly as I'd like, so I am going to post the remaining assignments here and expect you to be responsible for managing your time and responsibilities for this class.

I will distribute review sheets for the Final exam soon.

Tutorial 4; Designing a Web Page with Tables, pp. 174-231
This may be time consuming, but it is GREAT to know because it will help you have a lot more control over how your pages look. Essentially tables give you the power to lay out web pages like print pages!
Plan on having this test on Tuesday, November 23
Review the terms on pg.231(you  may even want to transcribe them into a notebook, since my quizzes are open-note, especially since we're bypassing powerpoint lectures/note taking)

• 4.1 Quick Check questions 1-7 on page 187 DUE Thr 11/18
• 4.2 Quick Check questions1-7 on page 209- DUE Fri 11/19
• 4.3 Quick Check questions 1-6 on page 230- DUE Mon 11/22

Tutorial 6; Designing a Web Page with Tables, pp. 291-231

Forms allow you to make you pages interactive. This is how you can have your viewers send you information. Mind you, it is easier and more fun to use google docs to do this and then embed them into your pages, but as always, it's important that you know how to do it the hard way so that you can make the easy ways work even better!

Plan on having this test on Friday, December 10

Review the terms on pg.334

• 6.1 Quick Check questions 1-8 on page 305 DUE Tue11/30
• 6.2 Quick Check questions1-9 on page 323- DUE Thu12/2

• Include one form
• Include at least one graphic
• Should adhere to the site metaphor, font, color schemes chosen during planning process

OPTIONAL (Extra Credit) Tutorial 7; Working with CSS, pp. 347-422
This is essentially a whole other code, based on HTML. If you are discouraged by your test scores for other chapters, or worried about how well you'll do on the Final, you may want to do all or at least some of the work for this chapter. Besides, CSS is a skill that will be very useful for you in the future, if you decide to continue creating websites for fun or profit.

Must take optional online test by or before, December 21
Review the terms on pg.422

DRAWING- Kids in the hall

This week, you're going to use the skills you've been learning about "sighting" angles and relationships, and using a "basic-unit" to record your perceptions as accurately as they could. 


Read the directions on pp. 152-153 in our textbook, Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain.
Prepare a page in y our 18x24 Newsprint pad by giving yourself a 2 inch margin, toning the format with a graphite stick, and including cross-hairs. Then, take a viewfinder and a drawing board and chose a hallway.


My expectation is that you will be silently drawing all class period, each Drawing Class all week. You will not be talking, loud, disruptive, wandering around, or engaging students from other classes or study hall. Responsible, Respectful and fun to be around. If Mr. Straight, or another teacher has to talk to you or loges a complain with me about you, you will receive an F on this assignment. I will try to circulate around all of you in order to offer help as much as I can. 


As always, I will be flexible on the deadline if enough of you need extra time- but for now, anticipate finishing on Friday, Nov. 5,  and Critiquing them in class on Monday, Nov. 8

Yearbook; Layout and Design

This week, I'd like to have you read pages 104-121 in your textbook. This is the most important stuff you'll learn this year in terms of actually creating pages in the yearbook- which you WILL FINALLY START DOING NEXT WEEK!!! (I know you're excited). I love this stuff, I've been doing this stuff since I was a sophomore in high school myself, so please, please try to listen and don't blow it off.

There are TONS that I can teach you- but I appreciate how you don't enjoy lectures and notes, so I will try to 1) make you responsible for most of the information yourself and 2) go through it at break-neck speed. All the more reason for you to pay attention.

Here's what we'll try to cover this week:

• TUES 11/2- pp.104-109  Design 1
• WED 11/3- pp. 110-115  Design 2, (possible mini-quiz over D1)
• THUR 11/3- pp. 116-121  Design 3, (possible mini-quiz over D2)
• FRI 11/4- QUIZ over all 3 Design sections

Most years I have students reverse-engineer a magazine layout, then draw their own, then use it to create a mock-up before setting them loose on yearbookavenue. If I were really going to equip you to be great designers, I'd also have you demonstrate your ability to create layouts in Word and InDesign as well as online- but, I may put that off until later in the quarter because I'm sure you'd rather get at the real deal.

Webheads; Back to the BIG book

A lot of Level III; Tutorial 3 (pp.107-161) in the HTML book may be review, because we covered it the last two weeks while we were working on your Client Site Proposals. Because of that, I think we can get through it a lot faster. Choosing colors, font families, and graphics are all a part of this "tutorial" (chapter).

Here's what I'm planning-

• Quick Check 3.1, numbers 1-9  on page 131 due WED. 11/3
• QC 3.2, 1-7 p.150 due THR. 11/4
• QC 3.3, 1-6 p.160 due FRI. 11/5
• Tutorial 3 Quiz on Monday 11/8

Meanwhile, we will also be creating a small website for a fictional amusement park called "Arcadium." I will put the files that you'll need into your folders on "\\Server1\web design." AND, lest you forget, you can begin building your own sites based on your Client Site Proposals too.
