SKETCHBOOK PROMPTS
SEE GOOGLE CLASSROOOM FOR ALL SKETCHBOOK ASSIGNMENTS
COLLAGE
Photograph your hands at least three times. Print them out. (You can print these at school if you need to)
The size of the hands is up to you but they should be small enough to all fit on one sketch book page. Cut and arrange the photos on the page. Glue or tape them down (use the tape as part of the image if you would like) and finish the image any way you want with other materials, pens, pencils, crayons, more collage, etc. You can draw hands on the page before gluing the photo down or draw hands or anything else, right over the photos that you glue down
Examples of some collage drawings with hands are attached to the assignment in google classroom. These are meant to give you some ideas. One example is only drawings and this is meant more as an example for the project we are working on in class.
FACIAL EXPRESSIONS
Part I
Search on line or take your own photo of a person's face while he or she is making an expression. Cut out part of the face and glue that in your sketchbook. Complete the missing part in a medium of your choice and in any way that you want, meaning realistically or exaggerated.
You can experiment with more than one face on the page, or just one face, but you must consider composition. The completed "Portrait" should not be floating in the middle of the page. If there is background left behind your photo you must create something in this background.
Part 2
Create a CONTOUR LINE DRAWING of yourself viewed from an interesting angle. If possible place a mirror in a position that is lower or higher than you- the idea is that you are not lookig at yourself head on.
Pen or pencil and contour line only
Part 3
Make an extreme face- angry, goofy, nervous or anxious- and draw it in your sketchbook. Your whole face doesn't need to be portrayed and you can include your hands. And the drawing does not have to be you- but someone you know. Don't find the expression on line please!
If you are interested, add text to the image to give the facial expression more meaning
CROSS-SECTION
Find a photo of an animal that you find intriguing to draw and slice it up into at least two sections. You will then be filling in the sections with the actual anatomy of the animal. Think about choosing an interesting angle when cutting sections within the animal and you will need to look up the animal's anatomy
