Jessica Roderigues
Hey there, my names Jessica Roderigues and this is the website i'm using to store all of my material from my advanced graphics class for 2011-2012. All of the work will be listed in chronological order.
My academic expectations are to solve problems by reasoning critically and creatively, and also to demonstrate technological literacy as a tool for learing, reasearch, and communication.
Somerset High School
Engineering Technology
2011-2012
Syllabus
Course Title: Graphic Engineering II/III
Instructor: Mr. Adams/Mrs.Shmigle
Teaching Methodology:
This is a laboratory environment; Lecture, visual aids, discussion, Internet and software tools are all used as vehicles for discovery, problem-solving and engineering. As a continuation of Graphic Engineering I, student will be allowed greater freedom in using previously learned techniques to produce graphic products that fit assigned problems. There will be an added expectation of sophisticated products made possible by state-of-the-art graphic software including video and stop-motion.
Philosophy:
This course uses an applied science approach. Every effort is made to utilize the available technology to replicate engineering in the real world.
Course Description:
This is an introductory course into the world of graphic engineering. The facility here at Somerset Berkley Regional High School will allow students to utilize the latest version of Microsoft Office, Adobe CS, and Stop Motion Pro. Students will be introduced to the Savin Laser copier/scanner and several digital imaging techniques. Students will be challenged to research the characteristics of graphic products, investigate costs, styles, and associated components in advertising, distribution and copyright considerations.
Course objectives:
Students will develop a fundamental understanding of communication through the use of images and other visual mediums. Students will receive basic instruction in several computer graphics programs. Students will demonstrate learning through lab projects, presentations, research assignments and by creating and maintaining a web-based portfolio.
Level Declarations:
Graphic Engineering is taught as a level two course. Level three students are responsible for the same amount and quality of work with some extra consideration for time. Level three designations are considered only under extraordinary circumstances. Students have the option of choosing a level one designation adhering to the following criteria in addition to the standard syllabus:
Unit 1
Unit 2
Unit 3
Unit 4
This year I will:
1. Read analytically to support conclusions drawn from text
2. Produce clear and coherent writing that is appropriate to task, purpose and audience
3. Adapt speech to a variety of contexts and tasks
4. Solve problems and complete tasks by reasoning critically and creatively
5. Process information critically to become capable researchers
6. Demonstrate technological literacy to facilitate learning
A main goal for taking graphics is get a basic understanding of some some computer and editing programs. The purpose of my weebly is to have a place to collect all of my work and store it in one place so i am able to look back on it at the end of the year and see how i grew with each project as a graphic designer.
