Week Three Term Three

Where you are at is where you can find what you should have done and what we are working on.

Today was cut short by assembly, with a 15 minute class and not much time to get things sorted. Friday, we will be cutting up your custom wood to work on and drafting up your prints.




By the end of Friday success means:
- You have all of your book work done and documented on your blog
- You have completed a reflection blog post
- You have drafted your final idea onto wood that you have helped to cut up... :-)

Let's discuss all of this further on Monday.

I'm really pleased to see the drawing work that happened today with the selfies already:
