Hi everyone!

We are now 2/10 or 1/5 the way through your first term at the UO!  We enjoyed all your work on the whiteboards about the different UO Libraries around campus.

Reviewing everyone’s Journal One there is some excellent comic book progress and many of the creative ideas are well ahead of schedule, but be sure to keep thinking about your comic and remember to reference the checklist.  For week three we are going to expect you to have your main topic finalized and it will be time to start drafting out your page and panel designs.

Some updates before we meet again next Tuesday:

1) Make sure to attend your 1:1 with Mazzy, if you have questions please contact her.  And keep an eye out for out of class events coming soon!

2) We will be sending your Achievement status sometime next week to give you the first glimpse of your progress in the course. Spoiler Alert: All are passing right now BUT don’t get behind on your comic progress or participating in class.

For next week:

1) Be ready to come to class and discuss the following topics: ‘the power of images through time and culture’ and “the ways in which images tell powerful stories” and “why use comics as an activist medium?” and finally “what is the role of the artist versus the viewer/reader in defining a work of art?”

2) Studio time will be a big part of the class time next week so again please bring in your art materials to keep moving forward on your comic work.

3) In preparation for our Museum of Art visit in Week 4 (Oct 22nd) please review this “Visitor Guidelines” document (we’ll briefly talk about the visit during our next week’s class).

See you all next week!

Robert and Mazzy
