Draw Paint 200 sketchbook requirements

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.

Late work: All late work will drop a 1/2 grade for each class day late. Work more than two weeks late may not be accepted and can't be made up ( unless due to unforeseen circumstances, illness,etc.). Should you be absent ( excused only) the day something is due, it is expected that it will be ready upon your return. Should you be absent ( unexcused, if you cut class or are on suspension) the day something is due, your project is late. If you are absent for a studio class demonstration day, it is up to you to get the assignments from the class blog, or classmate and make it up on your own time.

Please don't turn in anything to Lindsay or the attendance desk. Turn it into me personally or you may turn it in on my desk in the art office.

Critique: Work not presented for critique is an automatic O. Have something ready to show. This is sacred time for feedback from your peers. Your art doesn't have to be perfect, but ready for critique.

Resubmits: Work submitted late cannot be resubmitted. Only work that is complete by the orginal due date can be resubmitted. Resubmits are due at the end of the week of the original due date. If the re-drawn work is superior, the lower grade will be dropped. If you are absent ( excused) you can resubmit late work. Resubmits are done on a case by case basis.
