Due

PART 3:  Info-graphic first draft
You should be able to site references (examples that serve as your inspiration).

    1. Monday 4/06 Post all of your sketches to the TWO PLACES I have requested you to do so (see the Agenda Week07 under ‘DUE’)
    2. Tuesday 4/07  view all the sketches that have been posted (to Post Your Work) and choose one student and provide them with constructive feedback based on what they are showing. If someone has already provided feedback feel free to add your thoughts, but I would like each of you to also choose one student who has not yet received any feedback. (Since we are no longer meeting in person, I would like us to begin to facilitate the in-class critiques in this way.)
