Clues to your future - think about what you life may be like 10-15 years in the future. 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, daily life, economic status, etc. Think about the little details that you can include as hints.

Sketchbook #1-1

The purpose of a sketchbook is to make you look harder at things, use your imagination, and explore ideas and techniques that interest, challenge, and stimulate you. You will find that practice does indeed pay off and your confidence and abilities will increase proportionately to the amount of effort and care you put into your work. Shading is expected, as are details. Use of coloured pencils or other materials like a pen and ink or your own favourites are fine! This is your place to experiment and grow!

Draw a word as the shape of an object, such as the word apple in the shape of an apple, or apples spelling out the word.
