You need to do at least one sketch per week in your sketchbook. The purpose of a sketchbook is to make you look harder at things, use your imagination, as well as explore ideas and techniques that interest, challenge, and stimulate you. You will find that practice does indeed pay off and your confidence in your abilities will increase proportionally to the amount of effort and care you put into your work. Full shading is expected, as are details. Use of colored pencils or other materials like pen and ink or your own favorites are fine! This is your place to experiment and grow! Remember- you're only limited by your own imagination.
You have one week to complete each sketchbook assignment. Sketchbooks are expected to be turned in on time as designated by your instructor. Keep each sketchbook assignment in your sketchbook along with the rubric for assessment. Students who do not turn in their sketchbook at the time of collection will be given a zero for that assignment.
