GRADING
|
You will be graded based on your understanding and successful implementation of the core principles of this class:
Perspective/Draw Through
Line Weight/Vibrance
Details/Materials
Layout/Composition
Hierarchy/1-2-3 Read
Proportion/Aesthetics
Contrast/Punch
Titles/Call-outs
Lettering/Information
Craftsmanship/Professionalism
Indication/Vignetting
Style/Technique
In week 14 you will present to the class the drawings of your final assignment together with a bound process book that highlights
your work. This book should be 8.5” by 11” in size and contain between 20-30 double sided pages in volume showing a total of 40-60 renderings. Scan your work at a high resolution (200+ dpi) and do test prints to ensure a sharp quality. Please note that if you are late or do not meet the minimum deliverables you will likely fail the class.
Your presence in the class, both physically and mentally, is absolutely mandatory. Sleeping during the class counts as being absent.
Roll will be called at the beginning of class and after each break. Negative attendance will have a direct impact onto the grading process as follows:
Late, including after breaks: -0.200 grade points
Absent or late more than 1 hour: -0.600 grade points
Note: If you are late three times it will count as one absence. With three absences you will automatically fail the class. You have
one “free” absent and one “free” late without consequences. |
