Sketchbook assignment # 6
Music Illustrations

I would like for you to pick a song that you enjoy, or can relate to, and 
draw what you hear. Listen for words in the song that help paint a picture of 
what the song is about, make an illustration of your interpretation of the 
song. You may want to also think about how the music makes you feel, what are 
you thinking about while the song plays, and what is the song actually about. 
I am looking for detail work, shading/modeling, color, and your overall 
interpretation of the song. Please bring a copy of the song in, or make sure 
that I can access it via the internet, to help me grade the assignment 
properly. Most of all, Zone out and have fun with it.

November 2nd - 6th
Sketchbook assignment #5
Directional line drawing.

Start anywhere on your paper with a black ink pen, and move in a certain 
direction. Stop, and begin in a new direction. Try to go in every direction 
at least once, and try to draw as many differen kinds of lines in as many 
directions as possible. When you have your abstract directional line drawing, 
add color however you feel fit. you can also go back in with some different 
colored pens to put textures between lines. Have fun with it, and see what 
happens.

October 19th - October 30th
Do a Portrait of yourself in your sketch book.

It can either be a detailed realistic immage of yourself drawn by looking in 
a mirror, or you may do an abstract immage comprised of all of the things 
that you love, or whatever makes you the person that you are. I want to see 
details, shading, and color.

Sketchbook assignment #4

Draw a Noun -(person,place,thing)
I would like for you to do a drawing of a person, a place, or a thing from 
your immagination, or memory. You do not have to actually look at anything to 
do your drawing. Think of it as an immaginative free draw homework 
assignment. You can draw anything that you would like, but I want to see it 
with details, shadeing, and color to get full credit. Please try to push your 
abilities as much as possible.

September 7th - 11th
No homework this week. :)

August 31st – September 4th 
Sketchbook assignment #3

I would like for you to draw the interior of something, or place, on a page 
of your sketchbook. You should pick a subject matter that is interesting, 
abnormal, that isn’t normally drawn, but keep it appropriate for school. Some 
examples would be to draw the inside of a kitchen cupboard, the inside of 
your book bag, your closet, the engine under your parent’s car hood, etc…… I 
do not want to see the inside of an empty box, the imaginary interior of your 
brain, or any other attempts to back out of actually trying to draw something 
intelligent and pushing your abilities to their max.

I am looking for shading, observational drawing skills, and craftsmanship. 
You may add color if you would like, but grey scale will do just fine. Please 
take your time with this and do your best to push your abilities, I will not 
except any more last minute scribbles for a grade. Have a great Labor Day 
weekend and I will see you upon our return.

August 24th – 28th
Sketchbook assignment #2

Find an object at home that you find interesting, and place it on a table at 
an angle.
Then, draw a box in two point perspective that would fit your object inside 
of it. Place your object so that it is at the same angle as the box, and draw 
the item inside of the box. Remember to draw your box lightly; the focus is 
the object not the box. I would like for the box to fit just inside of your 
page, so no small drawings please. This process will help you map out, and 
maintain, correct perspective when drawing an object, or objects, on your 
page.

I am looking for correct perspective, shading, patterns, observational 
drawing skill, etc….
It is always recommended that you add color, but grey scale is perfectly 
acceptable.

August 17th – 21st

Sketchbook assignment #1

First, I would like for you to get something to eat, whether it may 
be an apple, orange, Hamburger, Taco, sandwich, pear, or anything else that 
you may like. Then, divide three of your sketchbook pages in half with a 
line, not long ways. In the first box, on the first page, I want you to draw 
your food item in its entirety as you see it. Then, take a bite and draw it 
again in the second box. Continue this process of taking a few bites and 
drawing until your food is gone. In the last box you will draw whatever is 
left over, like an apple core sitting on your napkin, a hamburger wrapper and 
some crumbs and maybe ketchup droplets, orange peelings on a plate, etc……. 
This completes your first sketchbook assignment. I hope you enjoyed it and 
have a cool drawing to show off to your friends and family.

You may want to finish it off with some color pencils to give it 
life, but grey scale is perfectly acceptable. I do expect you to add shading 
to give the illusion of depth, 3-d modeling, to your food Item. Most 
importantly, enjoy your self and I hope your snack was good. I will see you 
in class upon your return; e-mail me if you have any questions.

Or, would you like to view and optionally restore one of these previous versions?
