Reminder... No Class on October 31st because of the field trip we took last Saturday AND HOMEWORK DRAWING PROJECT

Reminder... No Class on October 31st because of the field trip we took last Saturday to the Cartoon Art Museum.

If you missed the trip and would like to make up the time (if you are available), you can come by the DVC Halloween Party. Located in the courtyard between the Margret Lesher and Cafeteria buildings Wednesday the 30th from 10-2 for some caricature drawing. This is a great chance for you to practice your craft. I will be drawing, you can help me to turn your fellow students into monsters. You do not need to stay the entire time and they will feed you and provide the drawing materials all you need to do is draw.


Homework drawing project for the weekend: Draw yourself as a superhero of the opposite gender. Due Tuesday.



A quick drawing job came up! So i'm offering it to the first taker, all you have to do is call the person.



Hi,

Thank you for asking your class to help me with this project. Pet Food Express and our Animal Shelter, Contra Costa Animal Services are working on a dog adoption store. They want me to draw a rough draft floor plan. I have the ideals but can not draw. I can meet with the student and pay them for their time.

If I can meet with them anytime this Wed. that would be great. I can also meet in the evening.

My phone is 925-933-4842.

Thank you!

Debbie Rodriguez
