Draw a scene from a bird's eye
view. How would the scene appear by looking directly down on it. You may choose
to sketch your house and yard, a place in your town, or you may make up a
place.

Take a photo and glue it onto the middle of your page. Draw outward from the photo, so that you are including the rest of the background. What was at the edge, but not caught by the camera. Feel free to be creative, rather than realistic.

Pop some popcorn. Take a few
kernels and look at the shapes and shades created. With pencil and smudge
shading, study a few of the kernels and fill the page with them. This drawing
should show a good sense of drawing skill and soft grays or some blending
device.

Christmas! What images do you get when you hear that word? The nativity? A Christmas tree? Gifts? Food? Family? Sketch whatever the word Christmas means to you. You may have multiple images, but make sure you arrange artistically.

Choose an enclosed space such as
a kitchen cabinet, a television, an oven, a refrigerator, in a drawer or
closet. What human qualities do the objects in the enclosed space assume when
no one is watching? Do the mustard bottles dance? Do the socks play cards? Fill
your page with details…be sure and show the interior of the space as well as
the objects. Make sure you have a focal point to the drawing and that your
composition is strong. Use shading to make things appear to be
three-dimensional.

“My hands are full of...”
You are to make a drawing of your two hands holding something. It can be done
in colored pencil or graphite. You must use 3-dimensional shading to create

house. In each of your squares, draw the object in a different way. You might
try looking from a different angle, focusing in on one part, distorting the
object, altering the colours, etc. Let your creative juices flow!!

Size Distortion
Choose two ordinary objects at home which have a relationship to one another but are not the same size at all. (Like: the front door and a key -- or -- the refrigerator and an apple.)
Draw the two different sized objects as if they are the same size, and draw them so they have a new relationship at the new size. (So: the key is as big as the door in the new relationship, and can only lean upon it!)(So: the apple could be so big that it occupied the entire inside of the refrigerator!)
Be inventive! think up your own two related objects, and observe and draw their details carefully. Plan an interesting composition on the page.
