NEW COURSE CALENDAR Week 9 +

The Nutz & Boltz of it...

1. As a student of SA 132 you need to check into our class blog SP2020CazSA132.blogspot.com between the hours of 9 am and 6 PM on M W & F and to our blog and FaceBook Class Group site, minimum.
Make note of this in your personal calendars.

2. I will alert you to any new updates to our blog pages through your CAZ email as I post them. 
This is your responsibility alone to keep a close eye on your email.

3. Each Friday I will check to make sure your Virtual Sketchbook Entries have been loaded with full details completed from the assignment. 
* This includes your comments on your colleague's works.  
From the Rubric #6. The student thoughtfully considered and completed 5 written entries (minimum) of others' entries, beyond “I like this work! It’s cool Scooby Doo”

Please re-read the already published Virtual Sketchbook Rubric carefully to fully understand this assignment so you know you are completing it to the best of your ability.

Mark your calendars when each Virtual Sketchbook Entry trio are due and published to our FB.site, they are as follows:
MAR 27 = 27 entries of 40
APR 03 = 30
APR 10 = 33
APR 17 = 36
APR 24 = 39
MAY 01 = 40

4. Make sure to comply with all DUE dates.  Should you not understand something or are having problems with anything you need to pose those questions to me by email at jpepper@cazenovia immediately.


5. You have two research papers to complete.
And a creative response to the Fischli & Weiss film "The Way things Go".
There are four studio projects to complete for the course. They include Project #4 Cardboard Construction, Project #5 FRACTIONS + Upcycles> FAKE NATURE > Wearables,  Project #6 Site-Specific Installation inspired by Andy Goldsworthy and Project #7 the Student Directed Final Project.  Thus, as you can see I have added one short project into the mix from our original course calendar.
