Today we'll go over the syllabus in detail, talk about the content, format, and purpose of the course, and do introductions.

Some key things to keep in mind:

• It's a good idea to do the readings before each class, since the things I'll talk about will make a lot more sense if you have
• You need to acquire a small notebook or sketchbook for this class, in which you will sketch and describe "everyday things" that you encounter (three per week)
• I will only use MyCourses for grades, receiving files, and sending messages. All other material will be posted here on this website
