My hands are full of . . .
Here is your first sketchbook assignment for term 2!
Sketch a group of leaves. You may wish to do them right from a tree, or arrange them in a gathering. Try to get the details of the edges and the veins.Practice making a contour drawing. Choose an everyday object to draw, such as a shoe or a kitchen object. Pay close attention to the outline, and follow it with your eyes as you draw. Try not to lift your pencil from the paper until you are finished. If you would like, try a blind contour drawing - do not look at the drawing until you are finished.
Take a jar and fill it with something. Alternative, take a jar out of your kitchen pantry or even your bathroom (ie. peanut butter, pickles, face cream, hair gel). Sketch the jar from the top view. Try to use shading and contours.
For your first sketchbook assignment, draw studies of your hands. Try a variety of position, or try overlapping them. Look at the details and texture of your skin, as well as how the lighting falls.

Clues to your future - think about what your life may be like in 10-15 years. Draw a picture of what your bedroom could look like. In the picture, give clues to what kind of life you may have. Think about your job, family, life, economic status. etc. Think about the little clues you can include as hints. The bedroom should let the viewer know as many things about your possible future as you can think of.
Read more...Choose 2 ordinary objects at home which are related, but are not the same size at all - like the front door and a key; an apple and a refrigerator. Draw the two objects as if they are the same size, and draw them as if they have a new relationship to that size - the key is as big is the door and can only lean on it; the apple is so big that it occupies the entire inside of the refrigerator. Be inventive - think of your own 2 related objects and draw the details carefully!
Read more...Divide a piece of paper into squares. It can be any amount from 4 - 16.
Find an everyday object in your house. Draw the object a different way in each of your squares. You might try looking from a different angle, focusing on one part, distorting the object, altering the colours, etc. Let your creative juices flow!!
