Summer

SketchbookYour sketchbook should be your new best friend this summer. You need to carry it with you everyday,

everywhere; I do! Open it up first thing in the morning and last thing at night and many times inbetween. Draw in it, write in it, scribble in it, paint in it, glue into it, cut the pages, tear the pages, change

the way it looks to make it look like your own. At the end of the summer, it should reflect YOU and your

experience throughout the summer. Some advice

ALWAYS FILL the page you are working on. Go off the edges whenever possible. Do not make

dinky little drawing in the center of the page. Make every square inch count for something.

Do not start something and abandon it. Go back later, change it and make it into something else.

Being able to rescue bad beginning is the sign of a truly creative mind.

ALWAYS finish what you start no matter how much you dont like it. Or if theres a page you dont

like, paint over it, draw over it.

DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT DRAW FROM PHOTOGRAPHS, magazines, etc., unless you are dramatically

altering it/transforming it/etc.

Draw from pure observation, things you see in the world. Learn to translate the dynamic three-

dimensional world into a two-dimensional world.

NO CUTE, PRETTY, PRECIOUS, ADORABLE, or TRITE images kitties, ponies, hearts, puppies,

rainbows, peace signs, unicorns, sunsets, EYES, that type of stuff. This isnt a class to make prettypictures to hang in your house. Expect your ideas about what makes good art to be challenged.

By September , your sketchbook should be twice as thick as it was when you got it.

The sketchbook is a place for risk taking. Dont invite criticism unless you are confident that it

wont derail your freedom. This is just a piece of advice from me to you

DUE - THE ARTIST AND HIS/HER SKETCHBOOK RESEARCH ASSIGNMENT

Visit the websites below. Choose 3 that you are particularly fond of and use a page in your sketchbook to write/draw your reactionand analysis of what you see on those pages. Write what you like about what you see, what is uniqueabout the artists

style of journaling, and what you would like to take(I mean, be inspired by) from this artist. This analysis can be

writing, drawing, or a combination of both.
