Sketchbook Guidelines
All Art students are required to complete at least two full-page sketches per week.
You should have at least twenty-four sketches by the end of the session.
At least ten of these sketches should be from life. Life drawings are drawn from what the artist sees. They may be portraits, landscapes, animals, or still-lives. They should always be drawn while looking at something from real life. You may also use photographs as models for your life drawings.
The rest of your drawings may include abstracts, cartoons, master copies and other subjects that do not involve the direct observation of subjects from life.
Required Life Drawings
-A page of drawings of your hand
-At least 3 full page portraits (These may be of yourself, another person, or an animal.)
-2 still-life drawings
The subjects for the remaining four life drawings are up to you, but remember that they must be from observation.
