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.

• DUE WEDNESDAY = SB #1 - Read & re-read the assignment, plus the SB guidelines and Artistic Habits; check your work against the assignment prompts, making sure that each has been completed as directed and with your best efforts.

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)
