The Illustration Master Class Newsletter
Volume Two ,May 2008
Hello Again,
There is only a month left until the beginning of the class!! In this newsletter you will find a class schedule as well as other important information on things like bringing your portfolio, housing and dining etc...
Something to make note of: You will also be getting an illustration assignment via e-mail on 5/20, that , should you choose to accept it, you will be starting rough sketches for and compiling your reference to bring to class with you. We will be working on the finish for this project throughout the week.
Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions!
See you all soon!
Drawing Boards and Easels:
***Just a reminder to everyone( in case you missed it in the last newsletter)-you will need to bring a drawing board to work on-( you know,the kind you have to tote around at art school).
We are providing easels or horses- but you will need a surface to work on.
Let us know if you plan to bring your own portable easel( so we don't rent one for you).
Portfolios:
We want to see your work! Bring your portfolio (it's not mandatory)- but please limit your portfolios to five originals and no more than 10 reproductions so that there is time to fully see everyone's work.
