ART 110 Basic 2D Design Winter 2013
Tues Thurs 1:30-4:20 C. Luark
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 schedule) need to be printed out
