editions as assigned. If you are using complex imagery,
large plates or multiple plates per edition, then six editions will
suffice. Otherwise ten editions. What is large or complex? Ask if in
doubt.

VI. Grading
Late portfolios will be penalized by one letter
grade per day.
GRADES: Based on the
average of grades for each of the editions and assignments completed over the
semester. The base grade may be affected (positively or adversely) by
performance in the following areas:
PARTICIPATION: in
class projects and critiques. All students are expected to speak in
critiques.
ATTENDANCE
PUNCTUALITY to class and
in turning in projects and assignments
ATTITUDE and willingness
to tackle projects and resolve problems
TIME MANAGEMENT in studio
and class time. Includes having necessary materials available.
VI. Schedule
Important dates for demos and critiques are on
the calendar, other days are listed as work days. With several content
areas offered during the same class time, it is important to adhere closely to
the schedule. Demonstrations will begin at 9:15. Be sure you are
here and ready to start.
VII. Supplies and Materials
There are some materials that we will be working
with that are significantly less toxic than traditional etching. Some of
these are not outlined in any textbook. At this point you will receive
handouts and additional information as available.
