Thursday - Show me another self portrait. Back out to the quad. Incorporate the red statue, in portrait mode. No climbing, please.

Friday - Stay in our room and compare your adventures.

*** Very Important *** Each day you must report to our room so the sub can take roll before you complete your assignment. If you don't come to the room first, you will be marked absent.

Please take six (6) photos of each assignment. Next monday (August 25th), I'll download all your photos on to my computer for class critique.

Remember to have fun with these assignments but to respect others in the process.
