The majority of your grade rely on your projects. Procrastinating will affect you a lot in this class. Asking for help and doing research is the right way to go. Best teacher imo

Top 5 tips I would recommend as a student and tutor from this teacher: Tip 1: Dont be a A hole, trust me Tip 2: Buy him pickles, trust me Tip 3: Do your 3 hours of homework, or he will kick you out... trust me again Tip 4: If this is Keith reading this, its your boy, the kosher man, the one and only, the Google man, the i hate you but love you now man. Yeah waddup Tip 5: Review material, highly recommend. Also buy the Critique Handbook, for portfolio and Uni later on. Tip 6: Good luck, trust me. You will need luck and charm... not too much charm. Just enough pickles.

DO NOT PROCRASTINATE. If you are taking Portfolio or IP with Keith, he will know if you haven't been doing your work simply by the quality of it. Follow along with the readings and do A LOT of research and you should be fine.

You will learn the fundamental drawing skills (line quality, tonality, shading, etc. ) and you will be amazed at how well you improved by the end of the semester.

This teacher will make or break you, you will either fail yourself or prove that you are capable of the most incredible things. Do not take Keith if you are lazy and afraid of putting your ALL in something. Life is now or never. Take Keith and you will learn to work hard, be punctual, and improve all the time in ways you never expected.
