Periods 1 & 5
Good morning ladies and gentlemen. Hope all is well for you so far today. I'm so sorry that once again I cannot be with you for class today. Camdyn woke up early this morning and started to vomit so this time I am home with her for the day.

Not to worry though, I have made a bunch of videos for today though and linked them to the blog post just below. Click on the link and it will take you to a video that finishes yesterdays lesson on buying a camera. While watching the rest of the lesson and fill in the notes on the packet. Then I would like you to partner up and review the Rasters vs. Vectors packet. Quiz each other on the information that you will find there. Tuesday will be the quiz on this info so get ready! Next is a video on touching up a vector. Watch it and while watching, open your practice vector of the Penn State logo and try to do some of what it is showing you for touchup. There is also a second layering example using a fox racing logo. You don't have to watch this one if you feel comfortable with how you will vector your image, but it's not a bad idea to give it a quick watch. The final video explains the new photo assignment for next Friday. Give it a watch so that you know what is expected of you for this weeks photos. Speaking of photos, don't forget to upload your 10 perspective photos to Schoology today and make a proof sheet. Hope you have a great day and an even better weekend!
