Start class by going over the new policies for the class, including the yearly sketchbook project, free time, the syllabus, and the first project. We went over how we would do the first project and its guidelines, which will be available online and as a printout. We also practiced how the sketchbook project will be done in class. We will start off each class with a timed fifteen-minute sketch prompt. Each prompt will focus on a different element of art or design. The last thirty minutes of each class will be used to work on the main assignment. Before we ended class, we watched a brief history of Japanese block printing and a brief video on the process of making your own rubber stamp.
