I emailed the syllabus and Schedule. Please read them over and come to our first meeting with any questions about what is expected of you. I have only scheduled 4 official meetings after the first week. We will have to coordinate and find days and times to meet outside of our scheduled time as almost everyone in the class has another class at the same time.

This is going to be a busy and productive semester. You have a lot to do and you have to keep your own schedule and get it done. I know you can all do this.

Also, we have two big events this semester. World renowned photographer Edward Burtynsky has a show coming to the Chrysler and he will be there for the opening. You will all attend. It will be great! If you do not know his work look him up and watch the movie about him "Manufactured Landscapes". It might be on Netflix but also I have it.

Also, Mary Virginia Swanson will be giving a talk here at ODU (we are hosting it!!) It will take place on
feb 17th in the Art History classroom and it will be open to the public so I need you help to make it a success. Look at her website and you will see what a great connection she is and how lucky you are to get the chance to meet her in an intimate setting. http://mvswanson.com/

Monday we will meet 4-5 and Wen we will meet 4:30-7:00 and I will order in pizza for us. Please adjust your schedules to accommodate this. Thanks and I look forward to seeing you all again…..Greta
