ENG101.04 Fall 2018
As we wrap up our first semester as college students and enter Winter Break, I decided to recreate a snowman that would serve as an architectural design for all the assignments that we have done this semester. My main goal in choosing a snowman for this assignment was to portray the fact that as we… Continue reading sNOw more sketch assignments left 🙁
Read moreI strongly believe that my Literacy Narrative Project has allowed me to meet the Learning Outcomes for this class. I have composed both written and digital texts.

Read moreThis Sunday Sketch has probably been the most difficult for me so far. I had been working on another ComboPhoto for nearly two hours before I decided to try something new.

Read moreThis Sunday Sketch was certainly a little harder than I had first expected. I had troubling coming up with a story that I could legibly make understandable because my drawing skills are just “alright.” After thinking about everything that went on throughout Homecoming Week, all I could remember was that I could not obtain one… Continue reading Worth the Wait?
