FEBRUARY FIRM DATES/TIMES/SCHEDULES

Here are the up coming assignments that need to be finished.
When I am not there:
Youth should be working in their sketch books writing thoughts, ideas, issues, sketching what they want. poems and of course the assigned sketch book materials.
*Everything in RED, is what should be done on their own
ART
1) Decorate your journal
2) Self portraits
Draw yourself by closing your eyes and not lifting your utensil off the paper. You will be suprised at the results.
Draw yourself by closing your eyes and allow yourself to lift the utensil off the paper.
After you finish, jot down a few phrases or words reflecting on the experience; feedback.
3) Perception
Draw a friend or family member and have them draw you at the same time. Do this with as many people and as many times as you want. the more the better. :)
Catch: You have to draw them without looking at the paper and without picking up the utensil from the paper. Have fun!
