I am sorry I will be out today for a district meeting. Here is what you need to do . . .
1ST: The goal for today is to FINIISH anything that is MISSING, look at Power School.
2nd: Work on your Adobe Creative Cloud Project.
Here are the updated notes.

Here are some possible Adobe Creative Cloud areas of focus:
Graphic design
Design
Fine Art
Concept Art
Video Production
Audio Production
Photography
Web Design
Animation
Augmented Reality
Then generate lists of projects that you can do to learn that focus area.
Ask Bing Copilot for help, for example "What kind of projects you can do to learn "2D Animation?"
For Example:
Design / Concept Design Possible Projects
Design / Concept Design Possible Projects
Portrait Exploration: Investigate the human form through portraiture, using different styles or materials—realism, abstraction, or surrealism in oils, charcoal, or collage.
Abstract Art Experimentation: Focus on pure forms, colors, and textures, removing recognizable objects to allow abstract expression.
Character Design: Create detailed character sheets for an original world. Think about their personality, backstory, and design how that is visually expressed through their costume, posture, etc.
Creature Design: Focus on designing unique creatures for a fantasy or sci-fi universe. Consider their biology, habitat, and purpose in the world you’re building.
Environment Design: Develop conceptual sketches of environments for games or films. Work on mood, atmosphere, and storytelling through settings.
Product Design: Develop concepts for everyday objects or tools, focusing on aesthetics and ergonomics. You could explore sustainable materials or design solutions for accessibility.
Brand Identity: Create a full branding package for a real or fictional company. This could include logo design, typography, color schemes, packaging, and promotional material.
Furniture Design: Design innovative furniture pieces, blending functionality with artistic aesthetics. You could experiment with materials or modular designs.
2D Animation Possible Projects
2D Animation Possible Projects
Ball Bounce: Animate a bouncing ball to learn about weight, gravity, and timing. Start with a simple ball, then try animating different types (rubber ball, bowling ball, balloon) to explore how weight affects movement.
Pendulum Swing: Animate a swinging pendulum to practice smooth, flowing movement and the principle of ease-in and ease-out.
Walk Cycle: Create a basic character walk cycle to study character movement. Focus on different elements like foot placement, arm swings, and hip movement.
Flour Sack Animation: Animate a simple flour sack with personality. This is a classic animation exercise that teaches how to convey emotion and life through movement, even without facial expressions.
Jump Animation: Animate a character jumping from the ground, taking into account anticipation, follow-through, and gravity. You can experiment with various character types (e.g., human, animal, or fantasy creature).
Facial Expressions: Create a set of animations that showcase a range of emotions (e.g., happy, sad, surprised, angry). This will help you practice subtle changes in facial movement.

For this assignment we will use an “Inspiration Board” to help guide the direction of your future personal project and it will help me get to know you better. Search google, use your own images, and cross-reference your interests, hobbies, and/or just explore. Find at least 20-30 images. We will be using this board for our personal portfolio. Please watch video tutorial below and the video about Google Jamboards. ~Cornell
