Here's a little about myself:
I have been a working professional in the fields of Graphic Design, Illustration, and Art since 1984 (I'm old). I have taught at BYU-Idaho (Art) since 2002. I currently work as an online Instructional Designer and Developer, as well as teach both face-to-face and online classes. My hobbies are fishing, hiking, and restoring old houses. I also am an author. Here's a link to some of my books: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/early-american-country-homes-tim-tanner/1102148205?ean=9781423620938
YOUR CLASSMATES:
As stated in the "Course Pattern", Peer-to-Peer interaction and feedback is an important component to this course. Each week you will post your exercises to a common shared Google Folder (see "Posting Instructions"in the "Course Pattern"). Post your In-progress work by Thursday of each week, so that your peers may view your Exercises. Comment on at least 3 classmate's Exercises by Friday at midnight.
As an activity to become aquainted with your classmates, do the following:
- Navigate to this Google-Doc.
- Add your contact info at the top of your Intro, similar to what I've done above.
- Add an introduction to yourself and a photograph. Size the photo to 300px wide.
- Find something that you have in common with at least 3 other students (besides being artists) and make comments to them.
This document will become our class directory. If you need to contact any classmates, just navigate to the "Instructors/Class" tab and click on the link above.
