Visual Compers - it's time!


A friendly reminder to my students in Visual Composition 1 - the end of the first grading period is tomorrow. Get your website assignment done by 8am tomorrow if you want a late grade instead of a zero. :)

Colored Pencils




As our drawing unit comes to a close we are using everything we have learned in one final colored pencil project. It's exciting! Here is a link if you want to review techniques

6th - Illuminated Letters
7th - Mannequin Still Life
8th - Emotion Monsters

If you have your own colored pencils now is the time to bring them to class!

Visual Composition Online Portfolio

Please spend sometime exploring the Weebly platform and choosing the theme of your website. We will begin adding our work very soon! . I have set up your pages and log-in ahead of time. Your log in is FirstnameLastinitial2017. Please note that the first letter of your first name and first letter of last name are capitals. Everyone has the same password right now which is mcclurems. Please change your password after you have logged in the first time. Once you are logged in successfully, and changed your password (write it down someplace secure!) then you can start designing. Here is a video that shows you step-by-step what you need to do. Have fun with it and make it your own!


Ignore the log-in information in this video and log-in here: students.weebly.com

Spend some time looking at some former VC1 students websites to get an idea of what needs to be included. Those can be found here. By the time we see each other next I would like you to have a title for your blog with your name in it. If you want to work ahead add pages  that are sketchbook, , projects, and assessments. Feel free to add any additional pages you would like to add. If you get stuck email me at jennheyser@gmail.com and I will help you. Have fun with this and let me see your creativity shine!
