BEFORE STUDIO SESSION ONE

STEP 1: CREATE A BLOG USING http://www.blogger.com/

NOTE: USE YOUR OWN NAME TO NAME YOUR BLOG, USE “MINIMA BLACK” AS A DEFAULT TEMPLATE…

STEP 2: POST THREE IMAGES
A: YOUR BEST PIECE OF CREATIVE WORK AT HIGH SCHOOL, THINK LATERALLY IF YOU HAVE NOT DONE THE "CONVENTIONAL" ART OR DESIGN SUBJECTS
B: AN IMAGE OF A GREAT PIECE OF ARCHITECTURE
C: AN ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPH OF SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL
STEP 3: WRITE A PARAGRAPH UNDER EACH OF THE IMAGES THAT TELLS US SOMETHING INTERESTING ABOUT THEM

STEP 4: FIND AN IMAGE SHOWING A WORK OF ART FROM EACH OF THE CLIENTS AND DESCRIBE IT USING A NOUN, VERB AND ADJECTIVE; SEE BELOW FOR AN EXAMPLE.




HALL: NOUN, VERB, ADJECTIVE

MOFFAT: NOUN, VERB, ADJECTIVE



GASCOIGNE: NOUN, VERB, ADJECTIVE


STEP 5: IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO GET AHEAD, DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL GOOGLE SKETCHUP 7

  4. I think by examples, russell meant the works. I'm sure he meant we could do any of their works, not just the ones above

  12. katy - i think the best way to upload a file on blogger would have to upload it on another website then link it from there...??

    ReplyDelete
  13. Oh with sketchup, i was just asking cos i wanted to mess around with it - thats all

    ReplyDelete
  14. oh wait, katy have you tried clicking the link button? (the thing that looks like two chains) when a window opens, theres a drop down menu.. choose file: and link it directly to your file... maybe that will work?? good luck

  15. for step 2, the original photograph - does it HAVE to be taken by ourselves? I thought "original" means that the photograph hasn't been edited...isn't it?

  16. Hey katy - I haven't tried any of the other methods, but to upload a picture I found it easy to save it as a JPG file (save it in Paint). Then when you go to post in your blog or edit a post, click on 'Add image' (the third little icon from the right) and find your file. Hope that helps :)

    And Joanna - I asked the same thing at the forum and i guess it can't hurt to use a photo you've taken yourself. If that's what's required then you've done the right thing, and if it can be any photo then you're still fine.

  17. hey katy & bassel, i looked on russell's site and for files it says:

    All of the student work is assessed via each students blog. Images and text are uploaded by the students directly. Video is uploaded to YouTube and a link provided from the students blog. Sketchup models are uploaded to Google 3dWarehouse and a link provided from the students blog. UT2004 real time environments are uploaded to FileFront and a link provided from the students blog.

  19. Hey this may be a stupid question but are we supposed to post the artist work on our blog(step 4)??, because it just says to post 3 images, in step 2.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Anon,

    If you're still awake:

    You'll eventually end up with 6 images. 3 from step 2 and 3 from step 4.

    3 from step 4 = 1 from each artist, Fiona Hall; Tracey Moffat; Rosalie Gascoigne.
