• “Blue Folder” system for turning things in• B8 @ home: Memorial Portrait• Brainstorm as a group– Thumbnail/Notes Worksheet• Due WEDNESDAY 11/13• Proof of Progress FRIDAY 11/15

Blue Folders

• When you want to turn something in, you MUST put it in your blue folder and bring it up to my desk.– ANYTHING you need me to see and/or grade

should be IN FRONT of the yellow paper inside the blue folder

– Put it under the “late work” box

Once it’s graded

All the work you’ve submitted IN BACK of the yellow paper inside & put it back in your cabinet– You can then get out any unfinished worked to

complete it before the next due date.

The Blue Folder never goes home

• Finished work STAYS in that blue folder. This is where we will keep your work safe. Don’t bring things home that you aren’t working on.– Take care when going through each other’s folders

to find your own. There is valuable stuff in there.– You can document your work at any time. This is a

requirement for all finished work and will be a grade at the end of the semesters.

Breadth 8 @ home:Who Should Be Famous?

• Inspired by Jason Pallas’s – Memorial Prints• Memorializing people who do amazing things but don’t

really get enough press for it• Are mostly unknown to the greater world• Watch his interview!

Soooo…who do YOU want to “MEMORIALIZE?”

• Ms. King’s initial thoughts for you:– Minimum: Create a portrait of someone that you believe

should be famous for what they do or did.• Consider school, home, work. You no doubt have a few amazing

people in your life….– More: Decide upon a meaningful surface to draw or paint on

• test, homework, poster, note, printed email, printed texts, letter, bill, greeting card, book page, sticker, wall, magazine page, receipt, menu

– Even more: Develop a technique (ex: stamping) to create the portrait. • The technique could relate to the person somehow. • Think about size of your artwork and how it would be displayed.

Other Responses/Questions from Students (for Jason, too):

Now: Brainstorm Session w/ Worksheet DUE WED 11/13

• Make a short list of possible people you’d like to memorialize– Do you need to do a bit of research? Bring in your research

(information/drawings) for extra credit on this project.• Work on a thumbnail during class today• Include WRITTEN notes and ideas

– Who will it be– What do you need to complete this work. What materials?– How will you proceed?– Why did you choose this person?– Other Questions (and answers) you are asking yourself…
