Intro to Art: Sketchbook Selfie Challenge

1. Engage in making a work of art or design without having a preconceived plan.
2. What did your classmate do to help you BEGIN the drawing? How are you going to RESOLVE this sketchbook assignment?

Sketchbook Assignment: (Come to class with this SELFIE MADE and PRINTED!) Using your own camera, take a selfie – your entire head needs to be in the photograph… Print out the photograph, cut out the head, and glue it to the sketchbook page. Using the photograph that has been glued down – resolve the rest of the picture with a friend. Let them begin the background and encourage them to DISREGARD to what was in the original background. HAVE FUN with this. Check out Mica Angela Hendrick’s website – see what her and her daughter can come up with.http://goo.gl/Xiihh1.
