HOMEWORK is designed to: 1) allow for exploration, practice, and application of class content, 2) encourage independent work, time management, and efficiency of work flow, 3) fit within the weekly homework time allotted for this class. Keep these things in mind as you work. Use of a timer is one way to stay on task and to monitor your work time. Please note that your individual needs and work process may result in spending more or less than the suggested average time. Please ask for help as needed.

• NOTE: You will be without your sketchbook for up to a week.... but, even without it you can:
  • Complete daily drawings on separate paper, to be added to SB #2
  • Work on Bootcamp exercises: make sure Faces/Vase and upside down drawings are as correct, accurate, and complete as possible - don't wait for the teacher to point out inaccuracies - practice your perception skills (please bring your folder back to class each day - don't forget)
• ​DUE WED./THURSDAY = completed drawing based on the description you were given on Mon./Tuesday
• DUE EVERY MONDAY/TUESDAY = Check the website at the start of each week; update your agenda accordingly and complete any required preparatory work

• CHECK THE SCHOOL CALENDAR FOR A COMPREHENSIVE LIST OF EVENTS AND DETAILS

HEY! Did you get all the way to bottom of this agenda? You've read it, updated your calendar as needed, and are prepared for the week ahead and beyond? COOL. 

Here's a challenge to get you fully prepped for this week:

1. Watch the video, considering carefully the point of the exercise (what IS the point?!)
2. Try it for yourself; select an object that stands vertically, in-the-round, with lot of detail (not a phone, ruler, pencil, etc.)(could be a self-portrait!)
3. Draw this object  from direct, careful observation using only one line. DO NOT CHEAT. You'll defeat the whole point of the exercise = waste of time. Keep your pen/pencil on the paper at all times (do not judge your work for it's perfection or lack thereof - it WILL be a "good drawing" IF you followed the directions)
4. Bring your drawing to class on Monday/Tuesday (labeled with name/date/class code)
