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.
