- PIXEL QUIZ: On Skyward. All quizzes are open book, so you only have one shot. Use your notes, Google, or the class website for answers. I would rather you find the right answer than not know it at all. The Pixels and Resolution Study Guide is located here.
- Journal: You will be handing it in next week. Be sure to title and number your pages and create a Table of Contents entry. Compare notes with your Photo Buddy to make sure you have everything. If you missed an Artist or a Term, you can find them on the class website.
