Students are required to keep a weekly sketchbook as a major component of the Drawing & Painting Classes. A sketchbook is an invaluable tool for improving skills not only at drawing, but at:
- Observing the world around them
- Experimenting with different media and techniques
- Investigating the compositional nature of a drawing
Students will be given one assignment per week. Assignments are given on a Friday and due the following Friday. Assignments are worth up to 10 points each week. (Students have a one week period to make-up the previous week's sketchbook assignment. After that time, it turns to a permanent "0").Your sketchbook is like your textbook for this class!!Effective Sketchbooks:-
