Project Requirements• Complete all process and planning exercises

in your sketchbook listed on your handout

cutting

• Use creativity in how you are building and designing the new form within your drawing

• Neatness counts!

Project Requirements• The finished drawing must be clear and

recognizable.

• I will be looking for craftsmanship in your drawing, so take your time!

• Drawing must be inked

• Drawing will be finished with colored pencil.

• I will be looking for use of color layering, blending, and creativity to create three-dimensional form.

techniques.
