Self Study Milestones Adjustment

·         Storyboards Motion in Art, by Mark Simon (sma)*
·        ‘the Famous Artists Cartoon Course’ (facc)*

It turns out the content and structure of 'Storyboards Motions in Art' were slightly different than I had assumed going in. I also needed to add "the 5 C's of Cinematography' to my weekly readings. I'm hoping with President's Day, I can finish "5 C's" in Week 5. If not, I will build in weekly readings weeks 6-15.
