Sketchbook Assignment: (scroll to the bottom to make sure you do all assignments)
Altered Fruit Drawings
Using a pencil or multiple pencils from your set on white drawing paper, draw a picture of a fruit or vegetable, following the edge to get accurate lines and attempting to add some shading and texture. Now cut it or take a bite out of the fruit (or somehow change it) and draw it again next to your first drawing. Draw an indication of the surface it is sitting on so it doesn't look like it's floating.
Art Appreciation Assignment: For the next 8 weeks, we're going to take a trip through art history with TICE videos. They are fun and informative, and will help you understand how art has changed over thousands of years. After you watch the first video, answer these questions on the lined paper in your sketchbook. Skip a couple of lines after last week's homework and write the date and then your answers. 1. In Egypt, the art style did not change over ___________ years (except briefly.) 2. Name one of the several items that would indicate a picture was of a pharaoh. 3. Do you think you would have enjoyed being an artist in Egyptian times? Why or why not?
