-Have your 20 designs finished when you come to class. Students will get into critiquing groups of 5 to discuss the designs. Critique Group Directions:
Each person should date the next page in their sketchbook and title it “Group Critique-20 Thumbnails.” Each artist should take notes here on the group’s responses to the following questions. - Each person will get 3 minutes to show their 20 thumbnail designs to the group. In the 3 minutes, the group will: 1) Which designs are the most successful at filling the space and why? Ie: do they go off the picture plane; size; space; etc. 2) Discuss which designs are the most effective in balancing the positive and negative space/shapes and why? 3) Which designs are the most creative and why? 4) With the help of your group, star the 4 overall, strongest designs/fonts. Explain why the group selected these 4 as the top choices. 5) With the help of your group, answer how each of the 4 designs could be made stronger and more effective as a design?
After the group assignment, students will independently re-work the 4 best designs in a 4x4inch box. This could be that you will be combining ideas, making the design larger, neater, changing the direction, balancing the space better, changing the font, thickness of the letters, etc. You should use color pencil to work out a color scheme that enhances your design and the color of your poster boards. 4 designs are DUE WEDNESDAY 8/20.

YOU MAY TRACE CURVED OBJECTS TO HELP YOU WITH THE CURVES OR MAKE SURE THEY ARE NEATLY DRAWN. You should NOT color in your work. However, make a note as to what color scheme you are going to use. FINAL 10x10 DESIGN (uncolored) is DUE FRIDAY 8/22.

The forms must show 3-dimensionality through the use of shading according to a lightsource in the upper left corner. Students must show an even and neat transition of light to dark values that illustrate a consistent light source.
