Student sketchbooks
Please bring your sketchbook it to every art class and Field Trip .Students are expected to generate 3-5 ideas (in this journal) for each assignment BEFORE you begin to develop a final piece. If you do not have it in class each day, your grade for class membership will reflect this. Growth, in terms sketchbook usage, is part of your evaluation for review each semester. There will be some days where we will work solely in our sketchbooks as part of these assignments.
-Students are expected to complete at least ten-twelve pages of life drawings per semester (a drawing done from observing persons, places and/or things) only three drawings can be from photographs. They should show serious investigation and show time and effort, fill the page and show technical progress.
-These pages are in addition to (and may not be part of) any class assignments and/or instructor assigned idea development for class projects (as mentioned above). -This is a MINIMUM REQUIREMENT. It is evaluated twice per quarter. If your assignments show growth, care and investigation you will earn a B+ for your sketchbook grade. If you do five additional drawings on your own that also show care and investigation you will earn an A in your sketchbook grade.
