Drawing Portfolio Assignment Guidelines

DETAILS:

• This assignment is done at the end of the semester in class. 
• The sculptures you made during the semester serve as a source of observation and inspiration.
• I have prepared a series of quick drawing challenges for you.  I will announce these details in class, the day we do the drawings. The first five drawings will be done as a group. 
• The remaining drawings will be completed on your own. If you do not finish all the drawings in class, then finish for homework.
• The content of the drawings you complete outside of the group drawing session is your choice. Repeat an exercise we did as a group or invent your own ideas. Observe the entire sculpture from life or crop in, drawing a particular detail of your sculpture.  Perhaps the drawing for the Memento assignment is a portrait of someone connected with the memento.  Maybe a drawing for the Paper Stacking assignment is a pattern created by the outline of your sculpture.
• I expect these drawings to demonstrate time and show skillful and conceptual effort. 
• All drawings need to be posted on your blog.  Post drawings with the appropriate assignment or create a separate post for all the drawings.  Your choice - scan or photograph the drawings.
• Due date for drawings announced in class. The actual drawings need to be turned in for evaluation.
• Please make sure your name and the 3D assignment appears on the back of each drawing.

BRING THE FOLLOWING MATERIALS TO CLASS:

• Elmers Wood Glue (and/or white Elmers glue)
• Pens, pencils, sharpies, brushes. 
• Scissors and/or Exacto.
• At least one - mask tape, scotch tape, clear packing tape.
• Transparent paper such as tracing, vellum.  Transparency sheet, plastic wrap or zip loc bags are also good. 
• Pan pastels (if you bought kit, pastels are in the kit).
• Winsor Newton ink set (again, in your kit).
• Cup for water.
• Your molesking sketchbook (If you don't have one, any type of paper will be fine.  We are using a 8 x 10 inch format)
•  Any other materials you think might be useful for traditional or experimental drawing.
