sketchbook

And back to the art class. Last week, our assignment was to set up our work space and create an inspiration board. This week, we begin work in our sketchbooks. One of the first things we had to do was to make a list of things we hope to accomplish in the next 5 weeks in the class. Here is my list:

The class is a painting and mixed media class, and while I haven't quite gotten the paints out yet, it's been fun trying to mix different "media" pieces I have lying around the house- like fabrics, paper, colored pencils, oil pastels...oh and come to think of it, maybe I should add some yarn in sometime too. This is my first sketchbook assignment, with one of my favorite quotes:

And a second assignment for this week - to create something using the assigned prompt. Mine was "Sunny Yellow, Shady Tree, Try a Sketch, Happy".

What can I say, I'm loving this class. :)
