First Sketchbook Assignment

Make sure your name is clearly marked on your sketchbook! Your first sketchbook assignments has two parts. Do Both!

1. Design a cover sheet for your sketchbook. Your cover sheet should tell me something about you. What do you do? What are your likes and dislikes? Make the image visually interesting by creating an area of strong emphasis where your eye is forced to go. You may us any medium you choose. Pencil, crayon, marker, collage and cut-outs etc. This assignment should take you at least an hour, it should be a worked up image not a sketch.
2. Select music that helps to create a dramatic mood. (something you like) Use markers, colored pencils, watercolors, etc. to create a design that reflects the energy of the song. It does not need to be realistic. Let the lines, colors and shapes express the feelings in the song. Think about how the views eye will move across the page.
