September 11-12

UT Studies:
Today I read students parts from my journal on September 11, 2001 and we talked a bit about 9/11 and primary and secondary sources.  I checked off students step 1 on their Utah Vacation Project.  Students had most of the day to work and get caught up.  Their mapping assignment is due September 13.

Drawing:
Today we watched part of this prezi on the element of design line. We looked at Disney princesses and villains to see how line quality can affect the mood of a drawing.  I also deconstructed Superman into his simple shapes.  Students had their first sketchbook day.  They drew whatever they wanted within their own theme and the guidelines of using simple shapes and line quality.
