=Welcome to 8O Computer Graphics Course=

**Important Notice**: Seeing as the MS students will not be in the school from Nov. 11 to Nov. 13 our Graphics class will lose one period. I understand that you may not have Photoshop at home so this severly limits what you can do, however, there are still some things you can accomplish. For the next class after you return please review the assessed task outline found on the 3D Drawing in Photoshop page and think about the scene you want to draw. Draw a rough sketch of the area that can later be scanned into the computer. This is similar to the skills you learned in Tutorial 2. If you have a scanner at home you should do that and save the image to a data stick. This will cut down the decision making time you have in class and allow you to properly finish the task at the scheduled time. Of course if you have Photoshop please fell free to begin working on it. **Good luck and take care of yourselves.**

In this course we will use images and text (both original and taken from the sources such as books, the Internet, etc.) to create items using:
 * 1) Photoshop
 * 2) Webpages
 * 3) MovieMaker

The tasks you do build on the previous skills you have learned before, especially in the 7O Computer Graphics class. All of the materials can be found in the studentserver but will also be posted here so you can access them at home if you need to, or if your parents would like to see them. Also, once you create something, whether it is a skill building tutorial or an assessed task you will post them to your page within the wiki so your parents can track your work and provide comments if they like.

If there are any questions or concerns about the course please don't hesitate to email me at cwehrle@stmaur.ac.jp.

Day 1
