Sketchbook assignments Due Sept 27th

Expectations for all sketchbook assignments are to spend a focused, undistracted hour drawing the assignment.(an unfinished drawing is acceptable as long as the time is spent.)  Assignment is given on Monday and due by Friday.  Begin with basic shapes and "sculpt" the details to bring it to completion. 
Make sure to write the date you turned it in on the back along with a word or two about what the assignment was.
If for some reason you misplace your sketchbook, do the assignment on white paper and turn it in.  We can put it in your sketchbook at a later date.

Late work is accepted but drops a letter grade every school day that it is late.  Do your best work and have fun!



Foundations- Choose a simple object to draw that has both a smooth and rough texture as well as at least two values.  Begin the same way we always do and practice rendering the surfaces of the object.  Some examples of what may be strong choices would be a pair of sunglasses or even a water bottle.  Remember that even if an object appears to be black or white it is not one flat value.

Texture- degree of roughness or smoothness of an object, can be tactile or visual
Value- the degree of lightness or darkness of an object


Drawing and Painting-  Choose an object(one with no text on it) to draw from observation and demonstrate at least 6 different values.  Make this assignment easier by finding a subject that possesses a wide variety of values.  Something as simple as a brick wall could work well if you look carefully.
