Last sketchbook project for the year

8-2 due June 1st
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.

Drapery - a towel, shirt, or blanket draped around or on another object to create lots of wrinkles. 

Project- Practice Shading
Try several studies of drapery focusing on shapes of folds and creases and the shadows that are created by them. Keep in mind the various ways of shading we learned in class (hatching, smudging, cross hatching and stippling).
