EXAM REVIEW      You have everything you need to prepare for the Exam - study all of your tests, quizzes, homework, notes.  Additionally I've created a review packet attached HERE.   The exam follows the format of all previous tests, and takes place MONDAY, June 9 in the afternoon.  It includes 100 questions on the written piece, PART 1.  And a drawing practicum, PART 2.  To prepare for the drawing practicum you may practice drawing your hand in various gestural positions.  For inspiration, take a look at this powerpoint. 

PLEASE JOIN ME both Thursday and Friday afterschool in the ART STUDIO for targeted review sessions
