1st Quarter
(10 points each) All drawings should fill a page in your sketchbook and be done from observation unless otherwise noted.
_____ 1. Create a cover for your sketchbook using a blank piece of paper. Be creative with
your design and use whatever materials you have available to you at home. Must be
glued to your cover and include: first and last name, period, cubby #.
_____ 2. Do THREE drawing of a candy of your choice, all on the same page in your
sketchbook, in pencil.
- The candy in its wrapper
- The same candy half unwrapped
- The same candy half eaten
_____ 3. A drawing of a small object with a reflective surface (spoon, scissors, etc.). Must
show 5 values.
_____ 4. Draw any small man-made object (i.e. a set of keys). Draw with dots only, varying
their size and spread to create value. Draw at least twice ‘life size’.
_____ 5. Every household has a “junk drawer.” Open the drawer, don’t move anything, and
draw what you see as a modified contour drawing.
_____ 6. Choose a phrase, saying, book title, line of a song or poem, or a quote, and draw the
letters to fit the whole page. Make letters bigger and smaller, slanted, round, whatever
it takes to fill the spaces creatively using the letter shapes as design. Stretch or shrink
the letters to fill the negative spaces between letters and words. Color in or around
the letters - make a border or include a picture or other graphic element if you like,
but: Make the letter "fits" the main idea! Be inventive!!! Stretch, shrink, alter the
shapes!
_____ 7. Do a detailed contour drawing of a souvenir or memento that has special meaning to
you.
_____ 8. Draw 3 objects together with different surface textures. Show detail through value,
texture and contrast.
