If you missed the last class of the quarter, please complete a sheet following the prompts below and turn it in with your final portfolio week 10.
For # 1-8, write the sketchbook page number on which each part of the homework assignment can be found. If you did not do a part of an assignment, leave the space blank. In the space below each week’s entry, write a few sentences about the effort you put into that assignment, particular approaches you took for it, what you learned from it and what you would do differently if you had the chance.
For #9, review the drawings you did in class. Then write a self-evaluation for your work in drawing this quarter, discussing what you find easy to do in drawing, what you find difficult, challenges you set for yourself and how your skills or comfort level with drawing have changed since the beginning of winter quarter. When you have finished, tape or glue this worksheet into your sketchbook.

Spread out the drawings you’ve collected in your drawer on a table so you can see four or five at a time. Organize them chronologically as best you can, labeling each with the week # that you did them. Compare the drawings from the first five weeks of the quarter with ones you did in the last four. Write in response to these prompts: What do you notice about proportion? Value? Use of color? Which ones please you the most? What drawing skills or techniques would you like to focus on next? Why?
