finished project. Visual organization: a demonstrated ability

You are expected to complete and turn in all projects on
time, any project turned in late will receive a deduction of 10
points for each day it is late. It will become an F after one
full week.
3. Participation in all Critiques

Group critiques will be a regular part of this course and
everyone is expected to participate in them actively.
Critiques are not personal criticism, but are an opportunity
for students to receive feedback on their work. They are also
designed to help students develop critical analysis and
strengthen their vocabulary of art terminology. Participation
in these discussions and critiques will affect your final grade.
4. Homework

expected to spend a minimum of threesix hours a week
outside of class time working on their projects.

Academic honesty is fundamental to the activities and principles of

a school. All members of the academic community must be

honorably acquired, developed, and presented. Any effort to gain
an advantage not given to all students is dishonest whether or not

consult the course instructor.
