Dear Anna K, Anna Z, Annie, Avery, Bernardo, Corey, Emma, Jacob, James, Lauren, Leo, Lourdes, Marshall, Melissa, Rosa, Tilman, and Zawar:

Although we can not be physically together in the room 210 of Green Hall, 1156 Chapel Street, New Haven, CT for the rest of the semester, please know that we are still very much together, and our class, Introduction to Graphic Design, continues.

As we all know that this distance learning would inevitably be something quite different from what we have had—especially without experiencing the physical, spatial, tactile dimensions of your work, let alone your immediate company, I wanted to find the best way for us to keep learning, helping each other, and having fun within the limitations we face.

So as a start, I created this space for us. Think of it as our classroom, that is open to you at all times. You can share your work, thoughts, questions, concerns, or anything else you’d like to share with the class. I will be here to guide you, talk to you, and also keep sharing things you can learn from. Just like how important our discussions were in class, you are very much encouraged to comment on other people’s work. As we are all new to this, let’s be extra supportive of each other.

Having this shared space for us that’s continuously open and available is important because: while we will have some zoom classes as needed, some of you are now in different time zones, some of you may not have a great internet connection, or a quiet space to participate via zoom. Also, I like to have a sense that we are all connected 🙂

Please know that our original syllabus/plan will change. Our pace and workload will be adjusted considering the unique situation each of you are in. I will post announcements/next steps here as we move along.
