All completed work must represent "compositions"
rather than "studies."
A composition recognizes the whole space. There
is drawing of more than a single form in the whole
space. In a composition, objects are seen in an
environment. Studies
are practice drawings which which are done for skill
building or to help develope part of an idea. Studies
are not always whole compositions.

quality and completeness: One grade for the completeness
and a grade for the quality of the work.
