Field trip on Wednesday, 11/30; meet up at the classroom – DON'T BE LATE, there's not a ton of slack time – and I'll see you at the museum.
For the morning class, the drivers will be Chelsea, Rachael and Sean. For the afternoon, it'll be Nick, Christian and Michelle. If you're a rider, versus a driver, it'd be nice if you threw your driver a buck or two for gas.

Next assignment: Lulu Book Project
Next Monday will be a work period for your six-page sequence, so come prepared with whatever raw materials you need (images, ideas) to use the work period profitably.
Here are the specs for the images in your "sequence" project -- the one we're printing up through lulu.com. You should have the images you need at the start of the class, so you can just jump into it when class starts. You need to have at least a basic sketch (drawn out on paper, or cobbled together in Photoshop) of your general idea for the sequence.
Dimensions for Lulu book project
You will have 6 pages to fill in an art book we're publishing through Lulu.com. One page is like an intro page for yourself and your work, which should include your name. It can be a sort of "artist's statement," or it can otherwise set the stage for the images to follow. The following five pages should be a series of images that somehow work together as a sequence.
The dimensions at which you should create the work are:
Final page size will be 7.5" x 7.5" at 300 dpi.
The pages need a 1/8" bleed all the way around, so you'll create your photoshop files at 7.75" x 7.75" (at 300 dpi, this comes out to 2325 pixels by 2325 pixels).
Keep in mind, as you're designing the sequence, that you will have three "two page spreads," where the image on the lefthand page will be facing the image on the righthand page. Think about how the images on those facing pages will affect each other, in terms of content, color, composition, and so on.
If you're still chewing through what a "sequence" is, remember that a potential starting place could be:
1. Time changes through a fixed location. What is a single place, that goes through changes as time passes, and how are those changes made visible?
2. Spatial changes with a fixed subject. Is there a character, or object, that travels through different spaces?
3. Transformations of a character or object. Think of Klinger's "glove" etching. Is there a common image that goes through a variety of changes of scale, of stature, of meaning?
4. Different aspects of a single thing. Think Hokusai's Mount Fuji series. Is there a thing, a person or a place that can be looked at through a variety of lenses -- the lens of history, of myth, of geology, etc?
5. Formal variation and rhythm. Remember that abstracts images can function in sequence, riffing on common formal elements throughout the multiple images.
6. Storytelling. Any sequence tells a story of some sort. Is there some sort of narrative that could occur through the five images? Think of Hogarth's "Harlot's Progess," or the comics examples I showed.
And you should "own" your artwork in this project -- you can shoot your own images, or draw your own images. You can use stock images (free or purchased).

Homework for Monday
For Monday's class, come prepared with a sketch for your idea for the "fair use" project. You will have one class period to work on it. The finished project will be due a week from today, at the beginning of class.
Please keep your source images as well as our finished image, so we will more clearly be able to evaluate whether you have a possible case for "fair use" of those source images. Remember, in class you will present your image, and make your case that your image is a legally protected image; the class will act as the "prosecution," making the argument that your image is not protected by "fair use,' and is in fact in breach of copyright law.
You need to be prepared with a written statement of roughly a page in length, outlining your legal "fair use" defense. What elements of your work correspond to the protections of fair use, and how can you back that up with an argument focusing on your intentions and the evidence of what's there in your work? For instance, you might think of your work as a "parody," but what is the actual satirical comment you're making with the work, and how is that commentary supported by the images and the way they're used?
The intended venue of the work could have a strong bearing on whether your work is "protected" or not -- so please explain if the artwork is intended to be shown on a T-Shirt, in a gallery, on a billboard, or what have you.
If you want to refresh yourself on some copyright info, there are free digital versions of the Duke Copyright & Fair Use comic here:
http://www.law.duke.edu/cspd/comics/digital.php
Fair use can be invoked for the following reasons:
To report on news
To make a parody
To copy for class
To criticize
To quote for scholarly purposes
For research
And these are the "four guidelines" for fair use:
1. The Transformative Factor: The Purpose and Character of Your Use
2. The Nature of the Copyrighted Work
3. The Amount and Substantiality of the Portion Taken
4. The Effect of the Use Upon the Potential Market
