Drawing and Painting I Sketch Book Assignments - Due every Tuesday!!

You need to do at least one sketch per week in your sketch book. This should take between 45

and 60 minutes to do because the purpose of a sketch book 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 in your abilities will

increase proportionally to the amount of effort and care you put into your work. Full shading is

expected, as are details.

Use of colored pencils or other materials like pen and ink or your own favorites are fine This
