Class,

I have decided that Project 5 will be our last project.  Project 5 will be due the last day of class, Dec. 2nd/3rd during the last hour of class.

If you decide that you want to do an extra credit assignment, the Character Animation Project will be counted as such.

Buckle down and you should be fine.

P-4 Grading

Class,

A couple of notes on grading for P-4.

1. Follow directions especially when printing on a playing card.  2.5×3.5.
2. Some of the cards were poorly crafted: paper peeling, not cropped to correct card shape, etc. (Lazy!)
3. Some concepts were poor and needed more thought.  That is, the animals were a little too similar in size/shape/genus…etc.
4. Concerning crafting of the animals, some of them were not far from being “slapped” together as if with scissors and glue.  Effort must be made to intelligently combine species in a believable way.
5. Many of you did not post your progress or only posted your final choice.
6. Some of you need serious help with your type choices.  It must be legible.  It must stand out and not compete with anything else. 

I will email your grades to your Mav accounts.
