Sculpture Sketchbook Assignments

Every week you will be responsible to submit two (2) sketchbook assignments. Now these are not traditional assignments. Infact most of them will not be drawings at all. Some will be written assignments (one a month) some will be sketches, and most of them will be small clay sculptures.

Below is a list of assignments to choose from. The assignments are broken into two groups, required and optional. The required assignments will of course be required, but in what order is up to you. The optional list is an extensive list of ideas to choose from so that you can have some control over what you want to create based on your skill, time, interest, or even your creativity. Be sure that texture, shape, line, balance, and movement are addressed in each sculpture.

All assignments will be submitted on the Canvas website. Instructions will be posted for the given assignments as to how to submit it.
