Students are instructed to take at least 60 photographs linked to their theme, visit two art exhibitions and document them in their sketchbook with notes and sketches, and create two large observational drawings or paintings for their summer work. They are also reminded to stay on track with their essay which will be assigned sections weekly and must be submitted to teachers, as it counts towards their final grade. Materials from their theme mood board, gallery visits, and summer photography must be compiled and organized in their sketchbook by September 7th.
