Art 2 Homework through April 2015

Your homework assignments carry the minimum expectation for you to spend one hour of time at home on these projects.  The assignments are designed to challenge your imagination and powers of visual observation.  The assignments should be turned in on paper that is a minimum of 9” x 12” and should never be folded.  It is required that these be in a bound sketchbook.  Because the homework is given out well in advance of the due date late work will not be accepted.  All of these assignments may be done in after school work sessions if you wish.
