Requirements:
- Each student is expected to attend all studio classes. If a student is not able to
attend a phone call or email to the office is requested. Three unexcused absences
will affect your grade by 1 (i.e. if you have a B you will receive a C) Medical excuses must be documented with a doctor’s note.
- A sketch book and models are to be kept and reviewed before any work is undertaken.
Your preparatory work will count as 20% of your grade. Any medium may be used for
sketches. Recommended are watercolor, gauche, pencil, acrylic and water based inks.
- Each student is expected to participate in all critiques. Dialogue and critical
review are also important aspects of this class. Unfinished work for critiques will
be graded as incomplete.
- There will be significant time required outside of normal class time in order to
complete the assignment.
- Grades will be based on:
- aesthetic expression and
- content of work
