Including reference with homework submissions

9:37 PM, Friday February 16th 2024

I've seen quite a few homework submissions where the reference is included also. Question for the TAs actually reviewing + critiquing submissions - does the included reference actually help at all in evaluating the work? Is it cinsidered at all in reviewing the submission? I ask mostly becasue providing reference with the submissions isn't in the homework descriptions (that I've seen so far, up to lesson 4). Thanks!

It doesn't hurt to include your references, but they aren't always necessary. If we think seeing them will help us convey part of our critique more effectively, we may ask for them if they weren't provided - but if you happen to have them, it can help save a little time to include them with your submission. Not a huge deal either way though.

One thing to keep in mind is that we're not terribly concerned with how well your construction matches your reference - we focus more on how you're building up your construction itself. The reference simply serves as a source of information to help you decide which forms to add over the course of the process.

These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.

Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
