Term 5 begins!

 Hi everyone and welcome back for term 5!

To kick things off here's some fun links to some recent artstation posts I found particularly good and inspiring:

First up we got some character work by Michael Kenji with some awesome designs:

Issac, you'll find Petr Sokolov's latest helmet post useful for layering and form interaction.  Some parts aren't working (we can talk a bit about this in class as it can be helpful to breakdown stuff to see what does and doesn't work).

Jedd Chvrier aping the style of Paul Chadeisson which is cool:

Sasha Tudvaseva's absolutely gorgeous painting studies - WARNING there is some nudity - set the bar for digital painting.  Just look at those shapes in the wrestler image. oof.

Who doesn't wish they were Alejandro Burdisio - tight perspective meats uniquely eastern European aesthetics.

Some clean, slick presentations by Betty Jiang- you'll want to start thinking about this sort of stuff as your portfolios progress - a mediocre, or shit presentation can sabotage a solid portfolio.

And finally we've got Danny Gardner of Respawn fame with some absolutely delicious vehicle sketches:

Labelling your work

 

Hello everyone,

It is very important that you label your homework assignments when you post them to the blog. This allows your teacher to find your assignment, give you feedback, and grade your work.

It is your responsibility to make sure your work is labelled with your NAME and the WEEK.

You must use this notation ONLY for your name (please copy and paste):

Welcome to your Class Blog

 Hello everyone,

Welcome to your class blog!

Posting Guidelines:
Please post all artwork as a JPG or PNG.
To benefit fully from the class make sure to post your work as often as possible to get

feedback from your teacher as well as from other students, and check the blog weekly

for updated homework and teacher comments. 

Label your work:
Label each post with the following information:
1. Your name
2. The week
3. The name of the assignment

It is your responsibility to make sure your posts are seen by your teacher. If you forget

to label your post, the teacher may not be able to find your work and you may be

penalized for posting late. 

Grade updates:

We post grade updates on your Class information page within 10 days from when your teacher posts your grades.

If you see a TBD or a 0 on your line and you don't know why, or don't agree, please take the following steps: 

1. Check that your blog post was labelled correctly with your Name, the Week # and the assignment name ( if applicable). You are responsible for labeling your posts properly so that your teacher can find them easily and grade them.  If your assignment was not handed in, you will get 0 (unless you were sick or had a justified absence). 

2. If you posted your work and it wasn't graded, send a link to the blog post right away  to admissions@synstudio.ca and CC direction@synstudio.ca.

3. Follow up with your teacher. If you posted your work and it hasn't been graded, please talk to your teacher in your next class and let them know what happened. 

Absences:

If you will be absent due to illness or for any other reason, please email admissions@synstudio.ca  BEFORE your class begins.

You should also email your teacher if they have given you their email or post on the blog.

Contact admissions@synstudio.ca if you have any questions.
