For the week of January 11, 2010.

THIS IS IT! On Monday you will clean out your studios. On Tuesday we will wrap up things and do some more general cleanning. Your exam is the first one on Friday. Be sure to have your Tromnpe l'oiel painting in class and bring a pen.

Preparing for the Final Exam: You will write a critique on the trompe l’oiel paintings done in class. You will be asked to imagine you have gone into a gallery and see the trompe l’oiel paintings you and your classmates have created. You must have your painting finished and in class on the day of the exam.

AND DON'T FORGET ABOUT DONATING SOME MUSIC TO THE ART DEPARTMENT! We're looking for you to burn a CD with 40-45 minutes of music. All the songs must be appropriate for the classroom (when in doubt, leave it out!) It can be just your favorite songs, a "Best of" collection, just about whatever you want. The CD will belong to the art department and you must include a list of the songs and performers. You DO NOT need to provide a jewel case. We're looking forward to hearing your favorites!
