Skecthbook Assignment

As a benchmark for the first marking period, we will be selecting at least five of the vocabulary terms and depicting them visually from direct observation in the real world. The assignment handout follows:

Sketchbook Assignment 1: Sketching in the Real World

Go out into your community and look for the following from our vocabulary list:

Line

Shape

Asymmetry

Symmetry

Balance

Contour

Form

Positive space

Negative space

Balance


Sketch any 5 of these on separate pages. Each sketch must take up an ENTIRE page but can be done in any medium (ink, pencil, etc). Label what word you are depicting on THE BACK OF THE SKETCH PAGE.

For example, if you are at Franklin Mills you will see that the building is ASYMMETRICAL. You would then DRAW what you SEE and label ASYMMETRY on the BACK.

I will also look to see what sketches you are doing outside of class. I will be grading based upon what you have demonstrated to me in class... I can tell when you do not try.

Due October 31st, 2008
