Upcoming schedule, homework

Today we will be finishing part 2 of the midterm exam, in the Tyler conference room. Please be on time!

Because the midterm took a little longer than expected, we will be meeting at Tyler again next Tuesday to collect sketchbooks, finish Urbanized, and critique the homework.

Homework:
Begin your 2nd sketchbook. Be sure to put your name and contact info inside.
Sit in a public space and make 6 full page drawings (brush pen or china pencil) of the action going on around you. From LIFE! Not photos! They can be candid portraits of people, gestures of people walking or sitting, signage, atmosphere, etc. Focus on gesture, proportion and loose mark making rather than detail.

This will prepare you for our experience next Thursday at Reading Terminal Market and Chinatown. Both are very busy places with constantly moving surroundings.
