Week of 5-14-12 to 5-18-12

All graphic arts classes will be working on the final projects and study guides for the final assessment. All projects must be completed by 5-18-12. The final project has a 10% weight, as it is added to the final assessment to meet the required 20%. Students doing the T-shirt project must actually print on the shirt. The final project is a student's choice project, as they may select from projects completed this semester. The study guide is provided for the students so that they can have a guide to aid with remebering all of the projects, concepts, techniques and terminology covered this semester. A student who completes the study guide can get extra credit toward the final exam.
