3rd Quarter Review

Posted: August 24th, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: 3rd Quarter Review | 50 Comments »

Hello, students.  As our still lifes near completion, our class is also reaching its homestretch.  There’s only one month of lessons left to go, but before we embark on this last leg of our journey together, let’s pause for a 3rd quarter review.

As a refresher, The Tutor has prepared a recap of the creation phase of our ongoing project… so grab a study buddy, put on your thinking caps, and watch this overview of Lessons VII-XI:

Now that you’ve freshly acclimated yourself with the phases of still life painting, are you ready to put your knowledge to the test?  Are you ready to surrender… to a pop quiz?

Excellent.  When I give the word, answer the multiple-choice questions below.  When you are finished, please answer the following essay question in the “Comments” section above: in 100-words-or-less, let The Tutor know which of your homework assignments you are most pleased with, and why.  Please include a link to the assignment with your answer.

As always, The Tutor will not tolerate flimflam during test time… so no cheating!  If you finish early, please remain in your seat, put your head down, and try not to dwell on impure thoughts.

Okay, students, you may begin the exam.  Good luck!

There are a total of 15 multiple-choice questions in your exam, plus 1 essay question. Please ensure that you submit an answer to each question.  Results will be posted in next week’s lesson plan.

Best of luck, students!
