Sketchbook Entry Prompt for Jan 18

1. Pick a random material that you would NOT normally use to draw or paint with. Make marks in your sketchbook with the selected material. Once you are finished or it has dried, look at the spread and create a representational (non abstract) composition.

2. Select a shape and repeat it, covering your entire spread. In an opposite direction, pick a word, repeat it, covering the spread. Use paint to block out a shape. Once that has dried, cut out shapes from the painted area and the non painted areas. Look at the abstract shapes and draw an representational (non-abstract) with it.

3. Go to a museum. I will be at AVAM Saturday 1/8 until 12:30 if you would like to join. Sketch a room in the museum on your spread. Write your observations on top of your drawing.

4. Go into a public interior space (mall, grocery store, library, etc). Sketch a room in that space on your spread. Write your observations on top of your drawing.
