VA Comp sketchbook Assignments: |
| ||
The file above contains the sketchbook assignments for the year. You will be expected to keep a sketchbook throughout the year for both daily classroom assignments and taken home for homework assignments. The at home assignments will be due on Wednesdays at the beginning of class. You should spend at least an hour on your sketchbook assignments.
(Remember, you may turn in a sketchbook late, but I will only take it with the very NEXT sketchbook assignment and it will be -10 points off. For example, if you don't turn in sketchbook #2 on the day it is due, you may turn it in with sketchbook #3 for -10 points off, but that is the ONLY time I will accept sketchbook #2.)
