SYLLABUS / DATELINE
Following is a list of studio work and required assignments
for the Basic 2D Design course and the corresponding dates. Unless unforeseen circumstances arise that
would cancel class, you can assume these DUE DATES ARE SET. Remember that work turned in late will be
lowered in grade (one point per class day late). As you can see, many design elements and
principles are discussed in class and likewise a consistent amount of lab work
and assignments are due. Please keep
current by regular attendance, taking notes, bringing the necessary materials
to class, and turning in work on time. *NOTE: ASSIGNMENTS (underlined below in the

This dateline is meant to help you organize your schedule

this handy and refer to it regularly. As

This is critical to your success in this studio course. Lab time is not free time. It is the portion of the studio that you are
expected to develop assigned work.
