Now that our art class is well underway, it is time to begin using our sketchbooks on a regular basis. We will begin by learning the basics about creating images and about drawing. There are 12 assignments that you will be completing in your sketchbook for the first quarter. Many of them will be presented in class, however you may need to finish them for homework. When we enter the “Observation” section of the course you will be asked to complete three assignments at home using the skills that you have learned in class.
