Tape is banned from putting the sheets together from here on out. The craft with tape is just too bad. The result is that your intentions are not clear because the craft is not good. That joint should be invisible. EXno.6 requires no joining. EXno.7 (due Thursday) will require two sheets printed and combined. Nothing using tape to combine the sheets will be accepted. Projects with visible joints will not be reviewed or assessed (a "0" for the exercise).
The best way to do this is to align the two sheets on your cutting mat and firmly tape them down in the correct relationship. Using an Xacto knife and a metal straight edge, cut down the overlapping joint so that both sheets are cut at the appropriate location. (Be very careful not to cut yourself.) Then, using RUBBER CEMENT and a third sheet as backing, glue the sheets butted up to each other. Ask your TA about this technique on Tuesday if that doesn't make sense. It makes no sense to put the effort into this work and then make it look unreadable through slap dash craft. You should be making work that lies flat on the wall and displays your intentions when pinned up. We are going to be much more clear now about what is acceptable in submissions.
The art supply store RENDR at 26th and Boston has Rubber Cement, unless you've all bought it all.

WHY DO YOU TELL US TO DO THESE THINGS AFTER WE HAVE ALREADY PRINTED OUT 10 NEW SHEETS, TAPED THE EDGES, AND USED 2 PIECES OF PAPER FOR EACH? THAT IS A LOT OF WASTED INK!TELL ME THESE THINGS BEFORE THE DAY BEFORE IT IS DUE PLEASE.
ReplyDeleteDear Anonymous:
ReplyDelete"...BEFORE THE DAY IT IS DUE..." Oh, Saturday night is the day before it is due? I count about 60 hours in that day.
If you printed EXno6 on two and taped it together then so be it. Bring it in. All you've got to say is, "I did this before you made that post about no tape." or, if you are complaining about two sheets then assume it will read better larger.
Have a little perspective. Its like the more I try to figure out how to save you all money and time while still improving your abilities and work quality the more you complain.
What else would you like to complain about in all capital letters? Anyone else who sits up in the back want to call me an "asshole" like you did a couple of weeks ago? Sheesh. Is there some point that you've found where, even if you don't agree with us, that you don't think we're trying?
We had students printing out 1-5 $9.00 prints in recent studios. We were drawing by hand (with tools you wouldn't use after this semester) on sheets of $8.00 strathmore paper even last semester.
I've reduced the cost of this studio to 1/3 of what it used to be. There will be some kinks and some revelations from time to time. Work with me and I'll find more. Kick my butt and I'll quit trying because it just begs someone to find a reason to complain.
Give me a break. Do you think I lay around all day and then work a few hours at midnight on a saturday night?
Its sad the lack of respect that you show when you can hide behind anonymity. It really lets you show yourself.
Remember the effect of this sort of carping and the response you got the next time you are faced with a professor who doesn't seem engaged or doesn't seem to care. Maybe they just got tired of this kind of crap and have built a wall between them and this "customer service" mentality some of you expect. We're people, we love teaching, but it hurts to keep getting kicked for doing a little extra so eventually we just do what we're supposed to, do it well, and look right through you so you can't get to us anymore.
