Sketchbooks

Sketchbook Tour #1 (HD) from Malcolm Sutherland on Vimeo.

Sketchbooks 

Sketchbooks will count as 200 points towards your final grade.   It is important that you put everything into the sketchbook as it will act as a visual diary of the projects, assignments, concepts, and everything else that is covered in this class.

Things you should include in your sketchbook:

1. print outs of Syllabus, handouts, or reference material from the blog
2. Project sheets, value scales, directions, etc.  Information from the blog. 
3. class notes from lectures, notes from video tutorials, notes from reading assignments, etc. You do not have a textbook so you should be taking detailed notes. 
4. print out images that you are using as visual reference if necessary and place them in the sketchbook (ie. 1pt, 2pt perspective, Portrait, etc)
5. thumbnail sketches and any ideas you might have on projects
6. Artist Research
7. images that inspire you
8. recipes (well... no), but honestly, everything that is on paper that pertains to this class. 

tape or glue these items into the book (along with your sketches and class notes) to have a comprehensive visual record of the experience that you may refer back to for years to come.
