Use the blog
It will help chart progress & provide space for remote feedback and criticism.
The Objective Improve skills through craploads of sketching.
Deliverables Like all other StuCos, this course is student initiated and you need to be selfmotivated to pass the course. Deliverables will be general enough for everyone to pursue their own interests. At the end of the semseter, we’ll revisit these cards and see if you got where you wanted to go.
On the index card, please write: Name Goal for this semester How many hours per week you will put in to achieve it What you expect from me

Introduction time!
I used to hate drawing. Why does a CD major have to take drawing studio?!
My first sketch
Now I like it
I spent an internshipless summer doing it.
From storyboards
To 8’ renderings
But still learning...
