Sketching Assignments- 8th Grade
#1- Draw two, detailed, realistic looking faces from photographs. One should be of a human head/face, and the other should be an animal head/face. Base your drawing on real life images, not done from imagination. Please include lots of detail, texture, and shading in your drawings. For full credit you must add color to your sketches. You may use any color medium such as paint, crayon, pastel, colored pencil, markers, etc.
#3- Using the Sketchup program on your laptops, create a three dimensional model of the house you drew for assignment #2. Be sure to print a copy of your house and include it with your sketches. It does not need to be printed on a color printer.
#4- Setup and draw a still life consisting of at least five objects arranged together. Your objects must consist of something made of wood, glass, plastic, metal, and an object found in nature. Make an effort to show what material each object is made out of by the shading, details, and textures you use in your sketch. This assignment should be done in pencil. You may want to arrange your objects in an area where you can have a strong light source coming from one direction in order to create stronger shadows that will make shading easier.
Please: -read all directions carefully
-have all your drawings IN your sketch pad
-have your name ON your sketch pad
Due date: -Wednesday, Oct. 8th
***Extra Credit- Do a realistic looking pencil drawing of your hand holding an object. Be sure to include lots of details, shading, and shadow.
These drawings will count as three homework assignments, and represent 15% of your final grade.
