General Art 2 CP and Honors Homework for March 2015
Theme : Lighting effects
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.

if that helps.
