Art 3 Sketchbook Assignments:

Rather than assign specific sketchbook drawing assignments, I have compiled a list of phrases and words for you to use as a starting point.  Think about what the phrase means.  Use word association or brainstorm ideas sparked by these words.  Imagine a completed work of art titled with one of the following.  Develop a complete work of art (in the medium of your choice) that could be associated with each of these.  You may work in any order, but each statement may only be used once.  Label the back of your work with the title.

Conflict of Interest                                            Transparent

More than meets the eye                                   Over the edge

Warped                                                             Threads

Nightmare                                                         Outside the box                             

Habit                                                                 Hot and Cold

Lonely                                                              Reflective Identity

Seasons                                                             Me, myself and I           

The end                                                            Natural

Pairs                                                                 Mundane

Balance                                                             Accidents

Home is where...                                               Exaggeration                       

All that glitters...                                              Oops

Layers                                                             Music to my ears

Extreme                                                           Suspended
