The Sketchbook is the central component of this class. The sketchbook serves as the textbook for this class. Each student is required to organize the sketchbook according to class guidelines. Students are responsible for all projects and notes that build up the sketchbook this semester. There are very specific guidelines and deadlines that are part of the grading system for the class. DO NOT TAKE THE SKETCHBOOK HOME. Because it is such an important part of the grading for this class, I do not want to risk a lost sketchbook.

Deadlines are a big part of this class! Make sure you use your time wisely.

YOU are responsible for all makeup work and for completing it in the appropriate time frame. Studio Art II
