Art 2 Sketchbook Schedule

Art 2 Sketchbook

The purpose of sketchbook assignments is to have you continue to expand your skills in direct observational drawing.  You will improve the more you draw!  The more you practice the better you get at seeing something in 3 dimensions and transferring it to 2 dimensions on paper.  VALUE (shading) is what makes something look 3 dimensional on paper.  For homework assignments, please do not draw from a picture PUT THE OBJECT IN FRONT OF YOU AND REALLY LOOK AT IT!   Choose a three dimensional object and put it in front of you.  Use a lamp or light to help exaggerate the highlights and shadows.

Drawing assignments- due on Thursdays- each day late subtracts 1 point   Drawings are worth 10pts

Assignment	Due date
1.    A mug	9.11
2.    Something spherical	9. 17
3.   3 things stacked or in an interesting grouping	9.24

You will also have other assignments that are not observational drawings that will be announced during class.

Advanced Ceramics Projects

Advanced Studio Ceramics students are assigned the following projects which they can do in any order.
- Teapot and cup set
- Head/portrait
-Wheelwork
- Choice

Here is some inspiration and resources for work

Teapots- you can make it look like something recognizable or it could be abstract...it could be a person, a character, a building, natural forms or geometric shapes. However, it must have a lid that fits and stays on, a spout and handle that function and a cup that matches.

For the Head/Portrait
