Note on Duolingo: It is not for homework over the break. As a 'gift' to you, any Duolingo you DO complete, will replace missed days from the first check-in.
The French portion of the art project is starting upon return from the break! I recommend completing the artwork over the break (if you have time), otherwise you will have Mon/Tuesday evenings when we return to finish it. More info in post below!

Project work!
>> Choose a drawing or painting by a French or Canadian artist to be inspired by.
It should not be an artist we have studied this semester!
Some websites to explore:
- https://artistsincanada.com/artists/
- http://ccca.concordia.ca/artists/index.html?languagePref=en&
- http://www.artcyclopedia.com/nationalities/French.html
>> Make sure you have a variety of lines/shapes/colours you can describe (more details on what exactly you need to include in your description will be revealed upon return- I want you to work on the French part in class.)
>> Theme is... Social Media -> your painting/drawing needs to show this theme.
E.g. fake reality, influencers, selfies, social media addiction, 'highlight' reel (i.e. only showing good parts of life), body image, likes and followers, positive aspects of it: connection, sharing of information. any images you use as inspiration you MUST source!! Even if it's for ideas!! Write down where you found it- if it is on Google you can do a reverse image search .
Your artwork needs to be 'original' : you can use ideas found online, but change it up to make it different! It is never okay to copy an image and claim it as your own (this is plagiarism) so make sure you make a note of all places you found inspiration, and add elements that make it your own.
An example to help you if you are still unsure:
E.g. this image by Cezanne called "Seated Man." I could draw my own version of this. I could use the same stance, similar colours, but have the seated man looking at his phone, maybe there are things going on in the background of the image but he is unaware of them. Maybe I change his hat so he is wearing a baseball cap that says "Follow me" on it. Maybe he is taking a selfie!

Drawing/Listening and Speaking/Explaining practice yesterday and today.
We used some new vocabulary to describe where things are in a picture,
as well as the vocabulary for different lines/shapes:
Dessinez! (Draw! A command used when being polite, or talking to
a group of people : vous)
We reviewed pronunciation, some m/f, placement of grand/petit,
adding multiple lines (e.g. "Dessinez trois lignes verticales")
eg: En haut, dessinez un grand cercle. Sous le cercle, dessinez un petit carré. Dans le carré dessinez trois lignes en zig zag.
Devoirs: Duolingo 10XP

Selon nous, la couleur rose est _f-adj__, _f-adj___ et _f-adj__.
A notre avis, elle représente __n___ et __n___.

Nous sommes d’accord

Watch your adj vs nouns!! Some of you are still getting confused.
*adjectives depend on what you are describing: they change (m/f/pl)

*nouns are inherently m/f. (they have articles "le/la/les")
If you need more help, please come talk to me :)
