- Please label your sketches with the prompt you chose to draw.

To turn in: please take photos of your work and attach them to this assignment. You may need to take more than one photo of your journal to show the outside cover and then inside pages.

Please take a moment to answer these short questions so I can better understand your needs during remote learning. Participation will receive a grade!

Submit a photo of your sketch for your poetry art. You may receive feedback to re-work areas of your art and will be instructed to submit again if needed. Please add comments to help me understand your work better. Describe what I am looking at and why?

Since we will no longer create a painting, I would like to see color added to your final design. (You may want to submit a pencil drawing first and receive feedback before adding the color)

I miss you all and look forward to seeing your beautiful work!

Using objects you have around the house, create a color wheel, photograph it, and submit it here. Your color wheel should include the primary and secondary colors. Use the picture as an example.

Using the grid provided, add your photo to be used for your final grid drawing. Image should be black and white and only contain your head and top of shoulders.

Steps:
1. Use the image as a reference for how your face should fill up the grid.
2. Delete the image and add your own photo.
3. Click on the photo and select, "Arrange", "Order", and "Send to Back".
4. Resize your photo to fill the entire grid space. You may need to "crop" your photo or enlarge. Make sure to hold the "shift" key if you are re-sizing your image so it does not distort.
