1. No class Oct. 31 (This Wednesday) because we are going on the field trip to the Oakland Museum of art. (see earlier posting).
2. Next Monday we will look at your comic book samples.
3. If you did not get a chance to turn in your organic skull you can do so on Monday night. For a total of 4 Art Boards
1. Single B/W and a single color skull sample.
2. Full page of B/W Pattern.
3. Full Page Color Pattern.
4. Full page Color organic pattern.
We will look at the projects on Monday night.
4. When you come to the field trip I will give you a hand out that describes what you need to look for as prep for your final project. (BRING YOUR SKETCHBOOK, PENCIL and a CAMERA).
5. Your final project in class will be in two parts.
A. First: As a warm up, you will create a quarter sheet zine on any topic that you would like. I have created a template in Illustrator for you and placed it into the class folder in scratch, titled MASTER ZINE. I have also placed a PDF. about zines for you to read into the folder. We will work on the quarter sheet zine in class on Monday. Please bring your subject matter to class that night.
B. Second: For the big project you will create a 12 page, half sheet zine. (This means 3 sheets of 81/2 x 11 paper printed on both sides.) The 12 pages includes the front and back cover. After the field trip I will go into more detail about the second part of the project and give you a larger template to work from.
6. The hand out that I passed around tonight in class is for you to review and note the changes that a comic must go through before it is ready for publication. Note how the line work, shading and the composition from panel to panel changes. The Artists on this work were some heavy hitters in the comic world: Will Eisner, Wally Wood and Jules Feiffer.
See you on Sunday..... at the museum.
Have a great Halloween
