Marcus

Get

Ben

Gerald

The 1 hour break you are given can be used by you anytime you wish. You may choose to use that 1 hour for production and skip meals altogether (not recommended), giving you a total of 6 hours.

Those who need to leave early will have to rethink about this review event, because it will last all through late morning and through the afternoon. Participants (who stay the full length) of this event will have HIGHER PRIORITY TO SHOWCASE ARTWORK, HAVE A SEAT AS A COMMISSION ARTIST AT FUTURE BOOTH EVENTS, HAVE MORE RECOGNITION.

Ragequitters will be given no mercy, no quarter, nothing at all. Although, if you are feeling really lacking in motivation, imagination or inspiration, you can walk around and chat with people. This is an open review event, which is aimed at testing your skills at a semi-competitive level because you are pitted against your other members.

Bounty : CCA Points, your attendance for the semester, recognition and credibility.

jeno’s Notes:

Part 2 of the Review Classes this week will take place this Saturday. As you all know, after this review classes, you will be given a grade, and from here on, your attendance list will also be submitted to the office for approval too. But that is not the purpose of this review. The true purpose of the review is to see where you stand, gauge yourself, and be able to get yourself involved in higher level projects that require more commitment and skill.

After this event, classes will be stopped for the entire month of August, so that you may prepare for your final projects, exams and tests. After which, lessons will resume during the holidays, with a schedule being planned. No information can be provided on the exact schedule, but please do free up your weekdays during the holidays.

The camp is also going to be held on the holidays, first week, weekend, to give those with ITP some time to make it to school in the evening after work. More details regarding the camp will be up soon, with costs and schedules up.

More events will be posted on this blog, so do visit this site for more information.
