Monday
1. All supplies are due today for a grade. Label all of your stuff with an ultrafine Sharpie.
2. Create a portfolio by folding white posterboard in half. Use packing tape to secure the two short sides.
3. Spend the rest of class designing your portfolio. Your name and 'Art One' must be legible and created using
one-point perspective. You may copy, trace, or redraw the letters you used previously. You may add other
images to either side of the portfolio. You will be graded on how well you tape your sides, write your
name and Art One in perspective, and how you use the space in your drawing in an artistic way.
Sign the borrow list to check out markers. Your portfolio is due first thing Thursday.
4. Get animal photo approved for next project.
Tuesday
1. Critique #2: Describe: Use your powers of observation: take turns.
2. Complete the Types of Art with the term, definition, and drawing in your sketchbook.
3. Implied Line Project: In your sketchbook, draw the contours (outline and details) of this animal in a quick
and simplified way. Continue drawing it several times on the same page to get it right.
Draw what you see where you see it! Mark your best sketch to use for the final drawing.
Wednesday
1. Place your finished portfolio neatly where your teacher directs you.
Please do not fold any artwork; it will be ruined and you will lose points for poor presentation.
2. When final animal drawing is approved, copy it onto a clean page using pencil, LIGHTLY!!! You must be
able to erase fully. If you trace too heavily, you will try again until it is correct!
3. View implied line examples and powerpoint.
4. Fill in the animal drawing with straight, parallel lines in ultrafine marker. Do not use a ruler, or a pencil!
You can do it! Lines should be very close together. Use long, smooth strokes, not short, sketchy lines.
Do not draw on the pencil lines! No outlines! When finished, erase all pencil marks, sign your name near
the animal, in a bottom corner, and write the date too. Always sign and date every artwork!
Thursday
1. Self-assess your portfolio with a rubric.
Store your works-in-progress in your portfolio. If they don't fit, give to your teacher for storage.
You may take your portfolio home at any time, but bring it back the next day.
You may take home any artwork to finish at home, but bring it back the next day.
