notes

• • logo iteration went great--used top choices from WS, one hour for groups

  • hashtagable process took awhile, but worth the time

  • created form, had kids check for revisions, then required each student to leave points for every group member as a pilot. Went well

  • reviewed 404 pages

  • reviewed design matrix and how we'll use it for 404 (only through prototype, not going to test and redo like we did with the logo)

  • brainstormed in groups (4th hour had to do this remotely)

  • chose prototype for individual work in next class

  • remote announced for Wed/Thurs. unexpected

  • use class time to create individual 404 pages based on design matrix and brainstorming

  • 4th hour started after Spring Break having to do the catch up from 5th hour

  • shared Big Read juried items

  • shared MAEA Region 9 selections

  • intro: watercolor work

    • 5th hour got farther than 4th b/c they are the starting block

• • 4th hour--did Big REad and MAEA, then introduced meeting with Worksighted (b/c just got the email)

    • did one watercolor assignment

prepping for color, mixing, painting (for Worksighted and for City + kids have watercolors and I feel like we need to use them)

• • 5th hour--checked in, quite a few hadn't finished work from Tuesday

    • giving assignment to try out techniques with watercolor paintings

    • will pause watercolor for WS meeting

  • both groups:

    • as groups, choose best 404 pages and practice elevator pitch

    • dry run through elevator pitches not the hottest. This was really a bit rushed, but...the meeting is tomorrow. Ooops

  • meet with WS

    • announce top logos and process to choose

    • discuss market research--how to find out if your "unique idea" really is unique

    • kids present 404 pages
