Drawing One

SKETCHBOOK:

 

Each week, students will be assigned ten pages of drawing in their sketchbooks.  Some assignments may cover what was learned in class and others may be left to the students discretion.  Two pages a week can be filled with notes from class or lists and will be permitted as part of the sketchbook assignment.  Sketchbooks will be graded every week and turned in at the end of the semester.  Students may “make-up” unfinished sketchbook assignments at the end of the semester.
