HOMEWORK:
Keep working on Project #1
*Come up with an idea, and a title for the Art Exhibition
NOTE: try to think of a group of artists, no "Solo Shows"
*Please have some (approximately 10) images to work with.
You could also find a video or two (on YouTube or Vimeo).
When planning your CSS styles, start by coming up with a limited color palette.
Think about how the overall color scheme can complement the artwork that you will be displaying on the webpage.
Remember...
Required materials for this class:
(1) a flash drive or hard drive: 2GB or more
(some external device to store your work on)
(2) *Personal Web Space (Towson user accounts are fine)
(3) a sketchbook, something not too big, about 8x10 inches
(for notes and sketches)
(4) something to write & make drawings with
