Sketchbook Assignments 10/21 – 11/25
Due October 28
"Odd Couples" — Draw a minimum of 3 odd couples: 1 animal couple, 1 plant couple, and 1 inanimate couple (inanimate meaning not alive: like a toaster or a rock). Exaggerate physical differences through proportion and shape.
Due November 4
"Present, Past, Future" — Create a human character and imagine how he/she will look over a span of 50–60 years. Draw 3 full-body portraits of this person in your style, spanning child, adult, and senior citizen. Think about how faces and bodies age in ways that preserve or even enhance their personalities.
Due November 11
"Monsters/Creatures" — Draw your personal interpretation of 2 monsters from mythology. You can choose from any type of mythology you're interested in. Include a sentence or two from your research, discussing the monster's origin, habitat, history, or any powers it may possess.
Due November 18
"Eavesdrop" — Listen in on a conversation in public and take notes. Pick out 3 pieces of conversation to illustrate. Try to create 3 images that can be read sequentially, like a comic strip.
Due November 25
"Object Memory" — Construct a character through their belongings. Draw only the belongings, letting them act as a portrait of their owner. Try to gather a full portrait through this collection of favorite, hated, well-used, or forgotten objects.
Sketchbooks may be gathered and checked during any class on any of the due dates.
A final sketchbook grade will be given on December 9.
