Concentration of one’s visual ideas is a part of the Advanced Placement process / portfolio, but so is the idea that “I can do a lot of different works and here are my skills.” Here are some of their skills. Check out the gallery link to see more of the works.

In the space provided in the RUBRIC write out your thoughts about the good, the bad, and the ugly WITH EXPLANATION. Are you STRONG, GOOD, BASIC, WEAK, or POOR – WHY? Execution, Composition, and Character – all 3. Janet Fish:

Sketchbook Assignment Line: Continuous Line Contour Drawings: We are going to use a single line to create observation based drawings of objects that we make use of and really think we understand. Let’s begin with a BLIND continuous line contour drawing. Volunteers anyone? From there… your hands, shoe, and maybe a face if you are REALLY brave.
AT LEAST 5 drawings – all new pages in your sketchbook – 3 hands – 2 shoes – one face (at the very least). Let’s take 5 minutes for each drawing… Draw for as long as I have given you. If you have 5 minutes, draw for 5 minutes. If you think you are drawing too slow, draw SLOWER. There will be no time left at the end of the hour. BETWEEN EACH DRAWING – Walk around and look at all your classmates drawings.
Challenges and struggles? Are you going to take it home and REFINE it?
