NOTE: Sketchbook Modifications for all classes! Two grades will be earned for sketchbooks: Execution (mastry of materials) and composition (arrangement of elements through principles in art). Each is worth 50% of the final grade and allow you to track your levels of ability and learning in the process. ALSO: Three questions must be answered: 1) What challenged me in this sketch? 2) What was successful in the sketch? 3) What was my HONEST level of effort? (1-5 like on goal sheet, 5 being high 1 being low or A – F like in your report cards).
