Norwood High School

Drawing and Painting III C

Homework Assignments 2010-2011 

Overview: Each week there is a topic for you to draw.  For each topic, you are to complete 5 drawing that should take about 15-20 minutes for each drawing (feel free to work longer) or complete one drawing that takes approximately 1 hour. For weeks with less than rather five days in the week you need to complete the number of drawings indicated.  

 

Requirements: All of the drawings must be complete in your sketchbook, but you can be creative about how you use the pages of the sketchbook (you can put multiple sketches on the page, you can overlap drawings, think creatively).  Drawings should be completed in chronological order (The title page is the first page, the next page starts week 2, etc).  Mark sure that you clearly write your name on the cover of your sketchbook.  ALL DRAWINGS SHOULD BE COMPLETED FROM OBSERVATION. Apply the skills that you learn in class.  The assignments vary, so your interpretation can vary.  For September 27, you would use hard objects for each drawing, but one drawing might be a line drawing, another value drawing, one might gesture, while another might be small, while another could be a large. The same object can be used, you just have to render it differently.

 Drawings should be worked on the week prior to due date.
