PJ in my 2nd period class refused to do the Alien Comic Storyboard lesson so I spoke with both Jamie and Jeff and Tracey the photo teacher and got their advice so will talk to him about it more tomorrow. It was upsetting because I thought he would enjoy the project since he works in ink and does alien like character drawings. I'm going to work with him to make it more relevant.
The latex reveal went well. It was fun peeling the layers off together at the same time. Some were at different levels at the beginning of the class depending on how quickly they were working, so I had some students complete their third layer of latex, others completed their forth, which was the experimental layer. I was impressed overall the past few days with how quickly the paint was drying on the illustration board. The latex took longer, but the paint was quick. Some people put the paint on too thick and it ended up peeling off some of the cardboard. I did tests before using it since Jeff and Jamie recommended trying it. I have only used canvas before this which is better because nothing peels off. After they get through the first series of tests, I am going to have them work on canvas.
Today was my first day with the billboard class. I showed them 10+ images I found of billboards, and brought them to the values.com website. I showed them how you can upload an image with a slogan and have it uploaded right away showing you how your image and slogan would look if it was on a billboard. We discussed the use of billboards, and ideas of ways to change the context of what they're used for. I am excited to be able to bring this opportunity to them, and curious to see what were going to come up with.
