Blog #1 for Week 2....

Welcome to your first blog. During the first day of class, I will not be in attendance and David Jones will be the substitute. David will guide the class through a "light logic" exercise and will show some videos about interior lighting design.

David will not go over the syllabus with you, I will do that on week 2.

David will mention that your text is by Susan Winchip: Fundamentals of Lighting. YOU MUST BUY THIS BOOK. They have it in the bookstore.

Now for the Blog: Write about your experiences in class on day one about the light logic exercise and the key information you learned from the videos. THESE WEEKLY BLOGS ARE WORTH 20% OF YOUR OVERALL GRADE. Please visit the blog more than once during the week and respond to each other's comments. Feel free to explore either subject further on the internet and in the library to "beef up" your blogs. If someone beats you to the punch and makes comments that you wanted to post, please do not just agree and move on. Find something new to add to the discussion.

I will see you all week two, I look forward to meeting those of you who have not had class with me before.

Off you go!
