I will be handing back all of the art work hanging in the halls on Tuesday 6/1/21 in order for you to have a couple of days to take your art home. Hope you are having a good Memorial Day!

For the last homework of this school year I’m giving you another student’s choice. Pick something that you really like and spend some time doing a nice drawing. 8th grade has a homework holiday in order to have more time to study for Finals.

For your homework this week I would like you to do a value study of one of these scenes in a small format about the size of a playing card….use your pencil to try and match as many of the value shapes that you see.

For this week you have student’s choice for your homework. Pick something you like and do your best!

The Kentucky Derby is held the first Saturday in May so for this week I would like you to choose an image of a horse to draw in your sketchbook.

For this week, by request, I would like you to draw a character from a favorite Children’s book. Pick one that you enjoyed and have fun remembering while you draw.

For this week since we are working with actual texture on your mosaic project, I would like you to choose an object to draw and focus on simulating the texture you see. Take your time and challenge yourself to really focus on the details.

In honor of the Masters Golf Tournament that happens this week I would like you to choose a flowering tree to draw in your sketchbook. Dogwoods, Red Buds, Azaleas etc.

You have a Homework Holiday for Easter Break. We will start up new assignments for the 4th Qtr. next week. Have a safe and happy Easter with your family!

It’s March Madness time again, for the last homework assignment for Qtr. 3 I would like you to do a drawing of the costumed mascot of one of the Men’s or Women’s NCAA basketball teams that made the fileld of 64. Bonus if your mascot’s team wins the championship!
