Assignment
There is no official drawing assignment this week. There are however a few things I expect you all to investigate and/or think about. We will discuss these as a group next week:
- Please log into your SVA Adobe Creative Cloud account. Get it set up on all of your devices, make sure you can download and install the basic tools like Photoshop, Illustrator & InDesign.
- Let me know what you hear regarding your SVA iPads and Apple Pencils.
- Spend some time evaluating your current computer/remote video/technology situation and what you might want to change in the next 3 months. If it's a list, write that list down and be prepared to share it.
- Come up with one good question to ask me at the start of class next week.
- Be kind to yourself. It ain't easy starting a semester remotely. Use the time you would have spent drawing something wonderful for me to spend time 'hanging out' with your new team.
