Mid-Term Week

Remember next week to come to class with your assignment and another sheet of 22"x30" good-quality white paper for your in-class work. Also, bring some conte in addition to the charcoal pencils and at least give it a try.

Since this is a studio class, there is not exactly a mid-term exam. However, the drawing you will be working on next week is in many ways a comprehesive test of all you have learned thusfar this semester. Consider it your mid-term project, if you will.

In the finished drawing I want to see that you are capable of planar analysis, but I will also be evaluating your skills with line variation, intuitive perspective, composition organization, and creating push-and-pull of the space within your picture plane.

What makes this drawing different from others you complete in the classroom is that I will take it up and it will be graded (without the posibility of reworking). So, this drawing essentially counts twice (you will receive both an in-class participation grade and an assignment grade). So it has the potential to be very beneficial to your mid-term grade for the course.

Please don't get overly stressed or worried. Don't panic. Just approach this drawing as an opportunity to really show what you can do.
