Draw Paint 400 GRADE SKETCHBOOKS

Individuals at this level should be well on their way to independent work. I will review each student’s

journal and discuss it’ use with them. If the instructor determines that the student has a satisfactory grasp on how to make the journal work personally productive, that student will meet as needed with the instructor to discuss journal progress. You will be given a weekly sketchbook prompt that can be interpreted in any dawing medium. At the minimum, students at the 400 level should have 15 -20 pages completed in their sketchbooks per semester. 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.

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.

Gallery Report: more info coming on this, much the same as last year. You will have two due a semester.
