Assignments: Paintings, swatches or scales, and a painting diary. Refer to attached Class Schedule for the actual assignments.
Painting Diary: All students are required to keep a painting diary for each assignment. A diary should record colors used, techniques, time spent, a commentary on personal expression, and the discovery of what you learned.
