Sketchbook Assignment for December/ January 2011/12
Every month you will be required to do sketchbook assignments. This gives you a chance to practice your art skills; the more you do something the better you become. Some months you will get a choice of assignments, other months you will be required to complete a specific assignment. Sketchbooks are due at the end every month. Sketchbooks are worth 15% of your final mark! Please keep them up to date. You can complete these assignments during class time if you are finished early; if you do not finish early they are homework.
