Art School 1st week, 1st lesson

[perrygeebee]

I'm having difficulties understanding the Assignments for the 1st week.

The video is very long (although very informative). Can someone please clarify what needs to be done for the very first week?

How much of the video should be watched?

Do you mean the Art School program by Marc Brunet? If you bought the whole course there is a weekly study companion guide in the attached files area.

Hi Norma. Yes, I have purchased the lesson Term 1 from Marc. I do have the assignment sheet. My main issue is, do I watch the whole 2hr 30min video for week 1?

I have not really an answer to you. I don't really study according to a timetable. If the schedule overwhelmes you, then stretch it a bit. I watched "Visual Communication 1" and "Photoshop for Digital Prod 1" in one week. However, I am a Photoshop user for many years and I have also dealt with visual communication before. For me it was a relaxing refresher. If these topics are new to you, give yourself more time.

I agree with norma. If you mean the weekly planner, I think he meant watch the whole thing during the week. In my opinion it is good practice with many of these lessons to just watch the whole thing and take some notes here are there first. After that, every now and then, you can watch specific parts to go over things you may not have fully grasped.

This will also depend on what kind of learner you are, I know some people may be intimidated by doing something that seems big and then procrastinate. But I see watching the whole video kind of like scanning a chapter quickly to get an idea of what I'm getting into and then reading it taking my time (watching the lesson step by step and doing practice and assignments as I go)
