On Monday of week 4 students practiced a guided critique of student work. We focused on a traditional format of description, analysis, interpretation and judgement. It was hard work but it was wonderful to see our strong writers format ideas on such a high level.
Tuesday-Friday was observational collage with plant-life as the subject. We focused on positive shape, dynamic composition and overlapping to show depth. Its so interesting to see which students take to shape and collage and which students struggle with the restrictions on traditional drawing and the use of line to communicate ideas.
Students wishing to make-up work for this project are welcome to attend coach class to view the Powerpoint and get some black paper. It will only take about 10 minutes for me to catch students up and the rest of the assignment can be completed at home.
