Sketchbook Assignment for May 2012

Every month you are required to complete a sketchbook assignment. This gives you a chance to practice your art skills; the more you do something the better you become. This month you do not have a choice of assignments as it is practice for our current unit. Sketchbooks are worth 15 % of your final mark! Please keep them up to date. You can complete this assignment during class time if you are finished early; if not they are homework.

Choose an interesting object with many edges. Study your object closely. Start by drawing the outside edges of the object then fill in the inside edges. Use the entire page. Your drawing should take 45 minutes.
