This info is for all students, whether you're a 6-8th grade official student or an older student who wants to work alongside our Sonlight class.

The first week we will review Basic Design Concepts by zooming through a book that deserves a lot more time than we can give it. Find basic info on it here: http://www.amazon.com/Picture-This-How-Pictures-Work/dp/1587170302/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1295372768&sr=1-1


Unofficial students please note: Keller Library has the only copy I could find in the Fort Worth "sharing" system, so I advise you get over there and take a serious look at it with the understanding that in Week 1 in-classroom students will be using MB's design-concepts overview to illustrate the David vs. Goliath "showdown" as she has so illustrated "Little Red Ridinghood". Please e-mail me ASAP with your formal intention to work along with us: Subject: Graphic-Design 101.

Have the following for our first class: scissors; gluestick; pencil/eraser; 3-ring binder or similar to safely secure your work. Each week will be working the "old fashioned" way, on paper. The best design/illustration you work up in class will be re-created on the computer, then made into a JPEG at home using your (free) scrapbooking software. Further class-procedures will be given out in our first class.
