Periods 1 & 3
Good morning photographers! Hope your having a great hump day. As promised, I'm at the regional design and media competition today with some students that are competing. What that means for you is a full day of work time. I won't be taking your time to show you any new techniques or review. You could work on your lens flair, collage, calendar or either of the two new assignments from yesterday. Just remeber that tomorrow, Thursday, we won't be in 418 on the computers. Instead we will be in 419 working on a mat for your contest photo. We might even be in 419 wrapping that up Friday. So between matting and the final, there won't be a ton of days left just to work on the computers and finish things up, so make the most of the ones that we have! Hope you have a great day today and I will see you in class tomorrow!
