Art is the Product of Process: Art is the product of process: Whether conceptual, experimental, emotional, or formal, the process you develop yields the image you produce. The materials you choose, the methods of production, and the sources of the images should all reflect the interests that command your attention. The process does not stop with each work completed. It is ongoing. The cumulative result of that process is a body of work.

Stained Glass: Foil and then Homework
10.1Ac: Utilize inquiry methods of observation, research, and experimentation to explore unfamiliar subjects through art-making.

How many individual pieces of glass did you get CUT this week? How many did you get FOILED this week? Remember that we have a GOAL of 4+ pieces to be worked with EACH DAY… Are you meeting your goals?
CIaD: Logo Design and Adobe InDesign
7.1Ac: Recognize and describe personal aesthetic and empathetic responses to the natural world and constructed environments.
What is individual about your logo that others will be able to look at and EASILY identify that as a logo for someone extraordinary – you?

How do you feel about the final design of your image? What is successful? What would you do differently? Will it fit on the side of a pen? Will it fit on the side of a blimp? Is it SCALABLE?
