Foundations in Art – Sketchbook Assignment: Perspective & School Tools
Sketchbook Assignment – due Thursday, Jan. 31st
Every year, the Course of Studies Guide includes artwork done by students to fill spaces in the book.
Your assignment is to draw one or more objects that you feel represent one of your subject areas. For Math, perhaps a compass, for Art, some brushes and paints, a stack of books for English class; you get the idea.
Whatever you draw, MAKE SURE YOU DRAW IT IN PERSPECTIVE!
1. Draw your object(s) lightly in pencil.
2. Draw large enough to fill the page and think about your composition.
3. Check your proportions, make sure your perspective is accurate, and make any corrections.
4. Once you are satisfied with your drawing, go over it using black pen and ink.
5. Be sure to use a variety of marks, show volume (3-dimensionality), and include a range of values in your drawing.
