Welcome to Visual Arts Every One!

Welcome to Visual arts every one! This semester will be very busy so it is very important that we all work together. We only have 12 computers so it is very important that you manage your time wisely. The first task that you will be doing is building a blog. The Blog is a communication tool that links you to me. All projects you do will be photographed or uploaded to your blog. I will mark all your projects on your blog. Make sure you save your projects to my document and if you have a flash drive that would be wise as well. There is no exscuse for nor having your work saved some where. (do not save your work to my pictures on the computer) There will be times when you have questions regarding the technology that I may not be able to answer and there may be times where you can answer my questios. I will do My best if I don't know the answer to find it out for you. But you will have to be patient. Many of the programs we will be using this year are new to me as well.

Good Luck this year and have fun
