KEYWORDS

This is a list of concepts we've covered in class. If it's on the list, it has appeared in readings already assigned. You should have a working definition of each word written out somewhere in your sketchbook, accompanied (if applicable) by a rough sketch describing the word.

One possible way to approach this- reserve three or four pages of your sketchbook as a glossary section. Or if preferred you could intersperse the definitions throughout your book as they come up in class.
