WebQuest Continued

Mrs. CarmanyLeave a comment

We will cross our fingers that the internet is running smoothly today. Because of the issues we have had the last couple days, today will be the last day to work on the WebQuest assignment. I will be checking them tomorrow for completion points.

1. If you are finished with the WebQuest assignment: research and choose a graphic artist from the list (see me if you need a list of names). The sign up sheet is by the printer.

3. If you are finished with all of the above, you may:

A.Research more about your chosen artist (their artwork and life)
B.Explore wordpress blog (themes, customizing, etc.) – No Posting yet!
C.Open Adobe Illustrator CS3 and explore tools and features
