Sketchbook Keeping ~ A class requirement
consider your sketchbook your homework 

Picture
Inktober
Nov Sketchbook Assignment
Sketching is practicing and grabbing your creative ideas

Draw from LIFE  Draw from INSPIRATION  Draw from IMAGINATION
  • Bring your sketchbook everyday to class. 
  • Do not rip or scribble out anything!--don't worry about the mistakes
  • Do not put signatures or dates on your pages--consider the sketchbook a working piece of art
  • FILL THE PAGES
  • The majority of your Sketchbook will be in black pen...a micron or ballpoint pen
  • If using any media that will smudge such as pencil, charcoal, pastel, use spray fix or hairspray to keep it from smudging 
  • At anytime your sketchbook can be called for and assessed (usually once per quarter)
  • You are allowed to keep a digital sketchbook if you are in enrolled in any class above Studio Art I, II and Graphic Design Foundation
  • Altered Books will be assessed more critically and are allowed ONLY for Studio Art III, IV AP Students 
  • Option: Participate in 100 Day Project
TIPS: Use a blotter or blank piece of papers under the sketchbook page to avoid ink or mark making media to bleed through
            Make something out of your mistakes
            Use your sketchbook as a journal, write your thoughts then draw images that support your words or ideas
            Altered Books-try blocking out an using different mediums such as gesso, glueing pieces of paper, found objects etc
