From Course Syllabus:
To learn to visualize and interpret what one sees within a spatial environment.
To achieve coordination between hand, eye, and mind.
To become familiar with basic drawing vocabulary, media, and visual elements (line, shape, value, texture, scale, space, etc.) and to gain understanding of how you’re drawing choices affect content and expression.
To expand critical thinking and observational skills.
To develop an attitude of creative exploration.
To become familiar with historical and contemporary figurative traditions in art.
To build a basic understanding of contemporary drawing as an independent art form as well as a process to support other media.
To successfully complete all work in and out of class.
Did you commit to coming to class and if so, were you punctual? How has attendance helped or hindered your involvement in the class?
Did you use the opportunity to get class materials from mytsu, did you commit to checking the class page at least once a week?
Were your present for/did you participate in group critiques and discussions?
Did you sustain good work habits, giving your best effort with each drawing experience and coming to class prepared and on time with finished work and supplies needed for each session?
Did you spend at least as much, if not more, time drawing and reading outside of class as you do in class (6 hours a week)?
Did you complete assignments thoroughly and turn them in on time? If not, why?
Did you continue your drawing inquiry by keeping a sketchbook (“visual diary” or “research workbook”) to further interact with the concepts and skills we are learning (at least 50 pages)? If not, why?
Were you present for beginning of class lectures and artist presentations? How did they affect your knowledge of drawing?
When you were confused or had questions on the work or your absences, did you seek to speak with your professor promptly?
In what ways could the class improve?
What grade, overall, do you think you deserve in this class? Please be specific in your response, carefully including reasoning behind your thesis.

--Use the mirror to make at least 5 sketches for research in your sketchbook.
