Lots of activities during the next 2 weeks.  This week is an assembly and a 4 day week.  Homecoming and 2 more assemblies are also on their way.

Our goal this week is to complete the Collage Composition design by Sept. 26th.  There are still several people in each class that have not turned in their 6 sketches, reference images and final sketch.  Do this immediately, so you have time to complete your collage.

Today is the last day to work on final sketches. They must be turned in to me by the end of the school day. 

The grading is as follows on the sketches:
-50 points for the final sketch
-50 points for the 6 sketches plus the resources
