Week Seven: Final Stages!

Hi everyone!

Can you believe the term is about a month away from being done?!

Yes that means we really want to highlight that you should be wrapping up or done with the drafting out of your comic designs and starting to work on your final stages of inking, coloring, and lettering.  Comics are due in a week.

Again if you are done with your comic early, please turn it in early so we can start working on printing out the showcase copies.

For the next week:

1) Class Tuesday 11/14 IMPORTANT: Bring your Student Inventories to be able to complete the reflection Journal.

2) Class Tuesday 11/14 will be the last in class studio time before the comic is due.

3) Tuesday 11/14 Mazzy will be holding an ‘Academic’ event 3:30 to 6:00pm (details are in the Canvas Announcement). It will be an open studio/work time for people to either work on their comics for our class or any other work you may need to finish. This will be our second to last academic event so if you’re able to attend please do so in the event that our final event has any scheduling conflicts.

4) Friday 11/17 is our pizza social 11:00am to 1:00pm! 🍕🍕🍕

5) Friday 11/17 is when comics are due!  If you are turning in a physical copy, bring it to the pizza social or turn it in to Robert at his office before 5:00pm.  If you are submitting it in electronic format please have it emailed to Robert before midnight (remember to add the page numbers to the file name if you are submitting it as individual pages).

6) If you missed this week’s class and the Two-Year plan activity and presentation you need to make sure to send to Mazzy your registration holds and work with her to make up this required Achievement.
