Monday !!!!!!!!! we started the class with talking about the home work for the next class. 1st it was kind of confusing, but as we got more into it, it made sense. We put all of our favorite games on the board and talked about what catagory they go into. And what they were about. Then the teacher told us about the next class homework. That we have to make our own game, It sound interesting, i have few ideas all ready, we have to see how they come out. Then we went over the home work, the 7 sins. I saw some that were really cool. Some people have a good eye for this kind of things. There were some that were ok and there were some, few that were way way off. But over all I like it.

Interesting assignment, but i would like to see it with 5 photos. We started the class with every one putting there hm on the tables, and then we had to pick the best ones. We talked about them and rearanged some of them. The fun started when we had pick our favorits from all of them and make our own story, but as i said it would be cooler if we could have 5 photos. After that we watched a TED video about a guy that is a graphic designer and a computer programer. Very smart guy and interesting and funny too.

okayyyy. people have to get more into this class. today we had allot of interesting stuff up to look at. But not allot of people participated.
1st we put up our home work and talked about them. allot of interesting work, and i can see how this will be used in real life in our jobs. Then the teacher put up some adds and we talked about them, but only few people talked. For some reason not allot of students get into the assignments. i hope they do so the class will be more fun and we can learn more stuff.

Mondayyyyyyy morning, I got to class early! good start. We had a interesting conversation about disney, and there characters. And how disney makes or the standers they have for there products. Then we had a brain storming about what goes in a story. All the class gave ideas or what went into an story. After that it was movie time, TED movie that is. We watched two talks and we spoke about what we got from the talks and what the speakers were trying to say.

Scott McCloud

Raytheon !!!!!! I had all ways thought it was a chemical/bug spray company, but they are a defense contractor and one of the thing that they mad or still make is the tomahawk missile. Mineralogy, i had heard it before but did not know what it is, it is the study of chemistry, crystal structure and properties of minerals. and the most important one was Charles Babbage, the guy who came up with the concept of a programmable computer.

Movie time. Got to class and the teacher showed us a video about AIGA, I knew about them before, but learned more about them. I wish photographers had a organization like that too. I think its a great thing, you network with others, and together we are stronger, and we can make our art be more appreciated. I will be joining them. After the video a guy from gauge which is the AIGA student group at school, told us about the group and the events. I will try to make all of there meetings. After that the teacher started to talk about mind maps and showed us some pics of what they are. Then we started to make a mind map, and he collected our homework, and he put some of them on the board. He asked the class to see if we can find out why he chose those ones. I liked the mind map exercise you keep coming up with new things that could happen that have nothing to do with what you started from.

Thanks to google maps traffic i was late to class. As I walked in we were talking about how was every ones weekend, and what experience they had, then the conversation turned into how different people see or experience the same thing in a different way, Individual perspective. We talked about alignment in life. And one of my favorite topics, we talked about how to over come a mental block or a writers or artist block. After that he had the class put the homework in order from best to worst. it took us about 15min a we did it and we did a very good job at it. He wanted to show us a video about a comic artist, but the projector was not working. Hopefully it will next time we meet. Then all the people that went to the Seth Jhonson thing came to the front of the class and told us what it was about and what they learned. It was interesting some of the points that he had, but I was not that impressed over all.
