Art Sketchbooks

This is an assignment from Ms. Linne that she asked me to share with you. I am posting it and you can also find a copy of it on my blog under Special Assignments if you ever need to recheck it for clarification.

4^th and 5^th Grade Sketchbook Assignment 2010/2011

• You are required to turn in one sketchbook drawing per week. Ms. Linne will check each your drawing as you walk into the art room, so your sketchbook should be open and ready.

• Sometimes Ms. Linne will assign a specific thing to draw, other times you will get to choose what you draw.

• Drawings need to be marked with the date they were drawn.

• If there is a week you are absent or your class does not come to art (due to no school or a field trip), you must turn in 2 drawings the following week.

• You can draw more than one drawing per week but that doesn’t mean you don’t have to draw anything the next week. The goal is to draw a little each week outside of the art room.

YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR BRINGING YOUR SKETCHBOOK TO ART EACH WEEK.

When is a drawing complete?

· Did you fill the whole page with your drawing?

· Did you take your time and do your best work?

· Did you include details?

Drawing tips:

· Spend at least 15 minutes on each drawing. Time yourself.

· Add lots of details.

· Look at things around you and draw what you see.

· Draw things you like, things that look interesting to you.

· Use your imagination, invent things.

· Practice drawing techniques you’ve learned in art class.
