When is the best time to go back and re-work old pieces? Should we instead concentrate on making new ones?

Safeway?

Megan: Re-work older pieces once we've critiqued your breadth portfolio as a whole (12/15). Re-working would be a good project for winter break.

Chris: Safeway is great--they have the best grape soda ever.

Christian: Due dates are your friend! If we didn't have them, you might never finish anything. Be grateful!

Wow, there's a lot of things to think about under the drawing category. The Portfolio due date will be easy to remember since my birthday is May 2nd. Maybe hopefully I can have it done early as a present to myself??

Ew, grape soda, orange is MUCH better.
