Although they will not be graded as harshly as the project, assignments should be used for perfecting your sills with practice so you can go all out on the project.
I will be checking for skill in these assignments. It's 1 point for a good answer and 4 points for a great answer. I will give feedback on how you can improve. Regardless I want you to focus on the progress rather worry about the result.
Project will be out of 4 points.
Graded if you are doing the 4 things I asked of you while making art that is your own. Creative freedom is your own as long as you give me the 4 things.
