ART CARDS- Create a bunch of unique art trading cards that express your identity.  Use drawing, collage, color... Anything goes.  Start on a long skinny strip of scrap posterboard.  Then slice up to create at least 15.  On the back of each card write your name, class period, and 1 preferred method of contact (cell phone, e-mail, facebook, etc.)  DUE FRIDAY 8/27

Geometric figure/animal
After learning to shade basic shapes, apply your new skills to a 12"x18" paper.  First, look through magazines to find an animal or figure you like.  Don't worry if it looks too hard to draw. Cut it out of the magazine & paste it in your book.  Then sketch the figure on the 12"X18" paper  substituting geometric shapes for each body part.  Use at least 5 different kinds of shapes (circle, cube, cylinder, cone, etc.)  Choose a light source, and shade each shape.  Use white chalk for highlights.
