Select and PRINT out 3 images and your corresponding typed text for each image and bring to next class. 
(Printing on the least expensive printer paper from home is fine)

Printed Image 2: an example of a work of art (historical or contemporary) which has a substantial amount of a narrative and or metaphorical/symbolic content.

This assignment is weighted for one class and you will be allowed to revise this assignment before the documentation and evaluation of work occurs at the end of the first half of course.

Despite the potential for revisions it is still compulsory to have the 3 images along with the corresponding text for the 3 images all printed and ready in studio to pin up so the entire class can view and discuss everyone’s selections.

Please immediately email information of each image in terms of artist and title of work so I can post this information on the course website to avoid any duplication. Please check this course website at: http://derekbruecknerpaintingcoursesimages.blogspot.ca/2012/09/students-3-selection-for-what-is.html to ensure you are not duplicating anyone else’s selections. 

Well before the deadline if you only have some of your selections completed email that information for the instructor to post and once you have all 3 selections finalized then send the information again will all the selections in one email. Additionally to this requested information for posting on the course website if you have any links and or jpeg images to correspond with the requested info that would be greatly appreciated. (this request for links and or jpeg images correlating with your 3 selections is not compulsory)

  1. When you attempt to open a corporation file then you would possibly have fallen prey to QuickBooks Error 6150. There’s not just 1 reason behind this but several of them.
    The most common one is that your company file could be corrupted and to beat it, you'll be needed to make a transportable computer file before trying to repair the matter.
    We need to make a computer file because if something goes wrong then you ought to have a computer file to fall back to. It could have also happened if you tried to put in QuickBooks and therefore the process got corrupted.

Rising packaging industry along with persistent need for sustainable packaging materials will boost the market over the projected timeframe.
