Research Notebook
All students are required to keep a notebook that should be brought to class daily. You will be expected to complete the following for each project:
1. artist research (print 6 images from one or more artists, document info about artist/artists, style, copyright info., explain your selections).
2.
idea development (sketches & plans for each project, collecting resource images).
3.
written entries for each project (one before entry, one during entry, and the after self-evaluation; document and explain your ideas, process, progress, and final product).

Notebooks should also be used to record class demonstrations, presentations, and critiques.
Glue or tape all handouts & assessment forms into your notebook.
What you're doing is important, so write it down and sketch it out!

METACOGNITION = Think about your thinking.

Notebooks will be collected upon completion of each project or on critique dates.
