All 4th and 5th grade students are required to keep a sketchbook for art this year. The purpose of this is for the students to practice their drawing skills outside of art class, and it allows them to draw things that interest them. I gave them a list of drawing ideas, “I didn’t know what to draw” is no excuse for not completing the required drawings each trimester. Students can pick an idea from the list or they are welcome to come up with their own ideas.
Below is a copy of the assignment sheet the students received in class. Report card grades will be based on a combination of each student’s sketchbook and class assignments.
