You guys are a Dynamite group and we're off to a FUN year! I'm really enjoying watching you learn new skills and meet new challenges. Keep working hard!
Cool portfolio from a special fx artist featured in the 3D World magazine. I like not only his work, but also the reflection with each piece that explains what was done, techniques, etc. Thanks to Vick for researching and sharing the link!

Have you started Illustrator yet? When you get to Lesson 5 and the blob brush, see me for a file you can use. Reminder: Be sure to SAVE your work, even if it does not tell you to do so. Save after each Lesson. (04startL3, 04startL4, etc.) I can't grade air :-) and will be updating grades again on Friday--so be sure you have items completed for which you can receive credit.

CTSO Orientation - Seminar Center, 10 & 2:15. To earn professional development points for this activity, you will need to update your blog with the topic CTSO, answering the following questions:
- What ideas for community service this year do you have? Are you planning to participate?
- Do you have any fundraiser ideas? Have you identified anyone that you can sell Blue & Gold chicken, sausage, or bacon to?
( This is our biggest fundraiser.) - Are you interested in participating in a competitive event this year? If so, which one? Check out these topics from the BPA Site or View the PDF:
- Computer Animation | Presentation Management Team | Global Marketing Team | Graphic Design | Information Technology | Virtual Multimedia promotion
Remember - In order to compete, you must be eligible - watch your attendance, progress, work ethic/behavior, and grades
- Computer Animation | Presentation Management Team | Global Marketing Team | Graphic Design | Information Technology | Virtual Multimedia promotion
- Are you entering the Pin Design contest? I bet we could have some awesome designs! I have samples of winners from previous years if you want to see them. Designs are due Friday at the end of class.
While you are blogging, you could also go ahead and do your Professional Skills Blog, Trustworthiness. Our dynamite class already has at least one student with his/her blog completed on this topic! (If you had technical problems or other challenges preventing you from working on Friday while I was gone, this would have been a good activity that could have helped your progress.) Answer the following questions:
- What does Trustworthiness mean to you?
- How is that an important skill for the workplace?
- For the classroom?
