Monday Drawing Lab

Every Monday my Sculpture students draw in their sketchbooks.

For homework, they tape a small viewfinder "window" on their sketch and enlarge it on a 4"x4" square. They are learning to crop and locate an interesting composition for a new artwork from an existing artwork. Here are examples of students who received full credit on homework.

Sketchbook Covers

Sketchbook: Wrong-Handed Portraits of Classmates

Sketchbook: Continuous Contour Lines of Toys

Appropriation Sketchbook Exercise

*Studio Drawing and Painting*

Students followed a series of steps to transfer a magazine image in their sketchbook, incorporate text, and use 3 materials to make their own work.

REFLECTION: This worked really well for a performance exam. It was messy; I had a bunch of different materials in baskets at each table. However, the results were fabulous.
