How to Proceed with Art 03A

To finish this course in a timely fashion, you will need to pace yourself and keep on task. To complete each lesson, you will need to read the material in this course guide, do the reading in the textbook, and then complete the assignment, which is made up of review questions and art projects.

Each lesson requires a different amount of time, and each person works at a different speed. You may sketch quickly, but it might take you a long time to complete the review questions. Or you may read quickly but do very detailed drawings that take a long time to complete. Because you know yourself best, you must determine how to allot your time so that all the assignments are completed in such a way that you finish this course in a timely manner. Decide how long you need to fulfill the assignments. Be realistic, but also try to keep to a schedule. Perhaps you might be able to complete one art assignment a week, or maybe you work more slowly and need two weeks per assignment. Try to make it a habit to keep to your schedule.

For each lesson, be sure to follow these general instructions:

  1. Do the reading assignment in the textbook.
  2. Look at the textbook illustrations very carefully. Think about how they go with the explanations in the textbook.
  3. Read this online course guide for a further explanation of the textbook. Your course guide replaces the discussion you would have with the teacher if you were in a classroom.
  4. Get the appropriate art supplies ready. The supplies you will need are listed at the beginning of each lesson.
  5. Complete the assignment—both the review questions and the art projects.
  6. Submit your assignment for grading. See the Guidelines for Submitting Artwork (link at left in lessons) for instructions on making digital copies of your work
  7. You can send in a maximum of two lessons at the same time. You may check the status of your grade postings online. Once a grade has been posted, you may send in the next two lessons. If the assignment has not been posted in ten days, you may go ahead and send in the next two lessons.
