Make it a complete picture by filling the page with an unexpected background. Remember, you can make something fly by adding wings to it (or something else)!

Here's the video on thisiscolossal.com. Friday you received a list of sketchbook assignments that you should glue or tape into your sketchbook. Make sure you're up to date on everything for your sketchbook check on Monday for blue days or Tuesday for green days! 10/5/15 or 10/6/15 Do Now: In your sketchbook, draw the optical illusion with two faces and a vase.
Then draw a shape intersecting with another shape and invert the positive and negative spaces, like the rocking chair example. 10/7/15 or 10/8/15 Do Now: In your sketchbook, draw a simple 1-point perspective drawing. Here's another example. Remember to do it in the right order and use a ruler to make straight lines!
Then draw an interior space, like a room, also in 1-point perspective. Here's another example. The same rules apply in this case. Once you have drawn a room, add details to it like windows, doors, or possibly a wood floor or tile ceiling, furniture, etc. Helpful resource: 10/9/15 Do Now: In your sketchbook, choose one of the following artists and write at least 3 sentences about them. Can you relate to them? How so? Then draw something you remember from their art.
Elements of Art sketchbook pages were graded 9/28 and 9/29. If you were missing something, please show it to me by Tuesday of next week before grades are due for Report Cards! A late grade is better than a zero!
9/28/15 or 9/29/15 Do Now: In your sketchbook, copy down the proportions of the human body. Include BOTH figures (Stick Figure 1.0 and Stick Figure 2.0) on the page. Make sure to count the lines correctly! 9/30/15 or 10/1/15 Do Now: Think of one of your favorite memories. It could be something that made you feel happy, proud, excited, amazed, triumphant, blissful, etc. In your sketchbook, draw as much as you can remember from the scene. Then, anywhere on the page, write about your memory. Your text and drawing don't have to remain separate -- you can write in/around/on top of/through your drawing. You may choose to write in complete sentences, random words and phrases, or you could make a list. Check out: Example 1, Example 2, Example 3, Example 4, Example 5, Example 6.
