class notes 4/12

We watched: The Wilderness Downtown by the Arcade Fire

Google Earth:
the clock will allow you to view historical satellite data--really fascinating!
drag the small human figure to the map to get a ground view/street view of the area
"r" key orients you straight up and down

Screenshot with cmd+shift+4; then click and drag so you enclose the area of the screen that you want to make an image. (if you ever want to capture your entire desktop, that is cmd+shift+3, fun fact!)

Dreamweaver:

Hotspots are spots on the image which are specific links, where you can click on just an element of the image. (here's a visual tutorial for it)
click on the image
choose a oval, rectangular, or polygonal hotspot
define where the hot spot links to!


So just so you all know, there aren't many art events left!! Kai Barrow's lecture was yesterday, and she is a very engaging presenter! She will be working in the second floor of Anne Arundel for the rest of the semester and would love to talk to students.
There are three studio art SMP presentations Wednesday April 20th 6-8pm in Boyden Gallery, Art history presentation May 3rd, 10am-2pm, and a final studio art group of four students May 3rd from 2pm-4pm. There will also be two gallery openings on April 18th and May 2nd, but you should definitely go to the presentations, they will give you more information about the works.
