on comments...

I hope you all received my comments on your first part of semester,
in case some of you did not, just tell me I'll send it again...

if there is something you want to discuss just let me know.

in general:
I am satisfied by your work and by the way you are following the class development.
Something more can be done in order to reach a better interaction and participation.
The quality of s.b. is good with some picks (up and down), but in general you need to sketch
more while you are around. Don't forget you are in florence. Time spent sketching is not wasted!
The work done for midterm, was good and generally satisfactory with some picks (up and down),
I noticed a general weakness in the presentations themself, lack of order in their programs, use of graphics not completely focused on the concepts exposed.
We will work more on this topic (use of comunication tools) for the final.

About suggested readings: I use to suggest books, or movies, or other experience, with comments or crits, usually they have something to match with your works or behavior in class seen from my position.
They are suggestions, I hope you'll follow them and I am available for discussions on them, or for back suggestions.
In general I noticed that you need to read more, and to be more curious on things.
Use books and other media in a deeper way, don't forget you are working on your own personal background, not only in fulfiling syllabus requests!
