Project 1. Express yourself.
Use visuals to clearly explain the kind of person you are and that this is your graphic art binder.
Create a cover for your binder that represents who you are as a person and a student. Think about what font you want to use. This is your intro project and is a way for you to show where you are as a graphic artist. You will use it as the cover for your binder or note book so plan accordingly and think about colour choice.

Supply Lesson Plan:
Pick two out of these three images and make something similar. if you need help figuring it out try looking on youtube for a tutorial. You also need to get your weeblys made so you can take some time out for that as well. And of course announcements.
Supply Lesson Plan:
Create your own adult colouring page. you can do this on the computer or with ultra fine tip sharpie. If you are making it in gimp there are several ways you could go but make sure that it demonstrates significant time and love. These colouring pages will be printed out and taken to guidance for people to actually colour.
