Personal Journals . The Sketchbook
Students will keep a sketchbook for consistent practicing of what has been covered in class and will include daily contour drawing assignments. All sketchbooks are evidence of an investment in exploration and learning. Image copies and notes will be included showing visual research in art, craft and design books and magazines to illustrate the relevant parallels studied in class put into practice in the visual world. These visual libraries will vary enormously, illustrating the student’s aesthetic interest, individual aesthetics and interests. You will be required to deconstruct numbers of drawings throughout the semester. These can include historical or contemporary works of art. You will need to download the image and paste it into your sketchbook, noting ARTIST, TITLE, YEAR, DIMENSIONS, MEDIA. 5 per week - totaling 50 by the conclusion of the term.
