Syllabus and
Dateline
The
following is a list of studio work and required assignments for Art 120 and
their corresponding dates. Unless
unforeseen circumstances arise, you can assume
these due dates are final. Please remember that late work will result in
a lower grade (one point per class day late).
Many drawing methods will be discussed in class and a number of work
assignments and lab work assignments will accompany these topics. Please keep up with regular attendance, note
taking, and bringing the appropriate drawing materials to class. After three
absences it is advised that you withdraw from the class, five or more absences
will equal an F. Attendance and
effort are the most important factors in determining your grade. As a common
courtesy to fellow students and the classroom environment, Cell phones are
to be turned off in class. Speak
with me before class if you must leave your phone on.
