ART PROJECTS
Everyone must do the Museum Visit , and the sketches that are part of that project.
Be sure to plan for that trip early in the course.
Of the other three art projects, you may skip one of the four. I will only average in three art projects, and the Museum Visit Sketches .
Students take pictures of the projects, and submit them as files, i.e. jpg.
See instructions for each art project in the Learning Modules.
