Three weeks of the semester are down, and most students have settled in to drafting.  We finished freehand sketching for the most part and have learned about the alphabet of lines and lettering.  Students created some amazing invitations to open house - one is featured on Wheeler's main web page!  Student blogs have now been started and in the coming works more students will work in teams to post design work and to blog about what we're doing in class.  

Next week, we'll tighten the rules for orthographic projects and isometric drawings.  Our first formal assessment will be Thursday.

After two weeks, students have created freehand sketches and learned the basics of an isometric sketch and orthographic projections of 3-D cubes.  Check back over the next two weeks for student blogging and exemplars from portfolios.

Aug 4 marks the first day of school for Cobb Co students.  I hope you are as excited as I am to start the new school year.  For the freshmen among you, welcome to Wheeler and high school!  Check back here for regular updates about classwork and
