Instructor provided no definitions. The demonstration of sketches were haphazard, the pencil markings were too light to see what she was doing, provided no example to work from. Basically, students are left to somehow interpret what she’s trying to demonstrate. We’re told to “Imagine a hand here, and a book there.” What????? This was not an example of good instructions. Very disappointing.
