Advanced Independent 2 

Independent status may be granted to individuals who can demonstrate fundamental art knowledge and skills. They must also demonstrate the ability to produce art in a self-directed way. 
Second year advanced independence status requires you to plan your own activities and pursuing an area of art that interests you. It means that you have to have clear cut long term, weekly and daily goals. 
 
  • You will not turn in individual projects to be graded.

Sketchbook
Keep any and all simple sketches or thumbnails in a folder or sketchbook. Sketches show an interest in exploring new ideas. They can be a sketch from any source or from your own imagination and ideas. 
Sketches can be quite unfinished but have a kernel of a good idea. Ideas are the key. Sketches are experimental and usually evolve from the first images.
