What is 'Free Response': 
Each day we will start the class responding to a photograph. The photograph may relate to the lesson of the day or maybe a current or historical event. The purpose of this exercise is to get you thinking about the power of a photograph and what makes a photograph 'good' or interesting. Spending time deeply examining one image allows you to dissect its content (subject matter, technique, composition).You may respond to the image however you feel most comfortable- drawing, writing or a combination. You should work to fill the page in the ten minute time period, and if you 'finish' early- keep going and ask yourself what more do I see.

My name is Mrs. Olden (formerly Ms. McKay) and I will be your teacher this year. I have prepared a syllabus for you and it is available online at the class website. 

You will want to memorize and/or bookmark this link. I will post assignments there as well as resources and a gallery. Absent? Check here & Google Classroom to see what you missed.
Tonight your homework is to bring your parent or guardian to the website, find and review the syllabus and digitally sign it. You AND your parent or guardian must both sign the form. (Hint: hover over the appropriate course and click on > Syllabus)

For this course you will also need a sketchbook for daily warm-ups and planning sketches. I highly suggest a spiral bound sketchbook. You can also use blank paper and 3-hole punch it and put it in a binder or 3-hole folder.

If you have any questions or problems, please email me at LauraOlden@vistausd.org
