Third and Fourth Grade Sketchbook Homework

The third and fourth grade will have sketchbook assignments every week as a way to support the curriculum and aid teaching responsibility. I will post the most recent at the top.   Like many artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, students will use their sketchbooks as a tool in the art making process.  Homework will be checked every week and assignments will be given out in class as well as posted on this section of the blog for parents and students to access, and shared with all students on their google drive account, in their art folder.  Additionally, I can always be reached via email at sbanker@htps.us if there are any questions about an assignment.   

Three missed homework assignments will result in students grade dropping (students have the chance to make up a missed assignment with the extra credit).  There is list of motivations that students can choose from in an effort to make up a missed assignment.  However, extra credit can not be done in place of a homework assignment.

Third Grade:To prepare for our next unit, you will need to create an observational drawing of a shoe/any footwear that you own and find interesting to look at.  Hint: Drawing from observation is drawing what you see in front of you.  Please ONLY use pencil and try your best.  We will be beginning a unit on our shoes, so please wear the pair you want to make your art about to the next class, so we can take a picture in class and use for your project.

Fourth Grade: Explain to your parents that you are learning about Pop Art and tell them the object you chose for your print.  Ask them if they can tell you an object/clothing/food or fad that was a part of their everyday lives (pop culture) when they were your age.  Write what that object was and EITHER create a drawing of it, or find a picture (on Google) to glue into your sketchbook.  We will have fun sharing these in class!
