This document provides guidance for art students on completing Easter homework assignments. It instructs students to finalize all previously assigned work and create at least one media experiments board over Easter break. The board should experiment with different materials and techniques, annotating what was used and how it relates to the project. A list of potential materials is provided, along with example slides of different media combinations to help students decide what to experiment with. Extra credit options include creating additional observational drawings and photographs or a board about a visited art exhibition.
