Daily Sketchbook 11/7
This was published a couple of weeks ago. Hopefully you have watched the included videos ahead of time and already begun percolating some ideas in your cranial cavity.
"What I see for the future..."
That's the theme put out by Google for this year's doodle contest. First I want to get in to what they write before talking about the prizes - which I think you'll be interested in.
First, "challenge student to look at how they will make a difference in creating the world of tomorrow."
1. Have students explore the industries and technologies that are shaping our future, such as:
3. Ask students to select one emerging technology/trend that would change their daily lives in the future. Challenge the students to think about how they can help advance the cause through their efforts in the future.
4. Have students create a presentation sharing how they could tackle this issue and make an impact in the future.
This is a lot to take in. BEFORE I give you their template, I just want you to brainstorm. See what you might be interested in portraying by collecting ideas from everyone at your table group. Make a list (words and images) that you may use as a jumping off point.
That may be as far as you get today. This is ok.
Speaking of inspiration, they have THIS VIDEO that is pretty interesting in terms of ideation and working methods, some of which may sound familiar.
That first video is "imagine" and THIS SECOND VIDEO is called "create". I especially love this second one. You may want to watch it more than once. Just saying.
I would view this prompt as a process. You can take several (non-class) days to work on this - which I kind of suggest, and you may also use this as one of your study drawings for the month of November.
For this daily sketchbook, I have the Google template on my desk. You may begin drawing/doodling on it once you read the text, or you may end up spending most of your time watching the linked videos (and not get much done on the template. You may also begin brainstorming content and ideas in your sketchbook as notes for working on your Google design.
Because of this, there are a few options you may include for your daily sketchbook.
One might simply be a screenshot from the ipad of the video(s) as you watch them (though this is certainly the path of least resistance; one may be of you working on the template; one may be of the template next to your brainstorming on a page in your sketchbook.

Daily Sketchbook 11/1
It's been a while, I know.
You should have a page with your watercolor wash or your "hatch" marks on it. On top of this you should have a drawing in pencil.
Here's what I want you do, get one of my uni-ball pens if you don't have one of your own (Art 3's, just follow the lead of the Art 4's), and continue on that drawing by going over what you have in pencil, adding to it, and/or shading.
Just make it look great again ;)

Surprise.
You are welcome.
It is a waffle day, but in a way I have never done it before.
Here is my request in the form of two options.
Option One: draw a waffle, in ink, topped with stuff and make it look awesome;
Options Tow: take a photo of the waffle you eat in class (before you eat it) and upload that.
As usual, ONLY take your photo and upload with the ipad (this has been an issue for some of you in fourth per esp...you know who you are, so please make me happy and don't let this be an issue since I am being so giving today).

On the next blank page in your sketchbook, draw a sandcastle on the beach.
We will add to this later so don't do anything else to this beyond the 15 min you have today (unless you want to get more pencil work done to "finish" it as part of a daily sketchbook on an off day from class).

Choose your media and brainstorm with your table mates and draw a page full of things that roll.
More is better. Be specific but not necessarily/overly detailed. How many objects can you come up with?

Daily Sketchbook 8/31
Last time we sketched out what you will need for your "mindful moment" image each time we do that for your daily sketchbook. By the way, I will be trying to do the mindful moments on a consistent basis this year, but if it would be helpful for you to do them more frequently, just let me know.
At any rate, please use some ink and/or a marker and/or a micron pen to make your sketch from last time look like the one below.
Each time we do a mindful moment in class you will be expected to photograph and upload this image. Please please please know that I need you to have this image finished before you come to class on Friday.
If you do not finish it in our first 15 minutes today please use tomorrow's daily sketchbook time to finish "inking" this. Thank you in advance.
Here is the image...

We are prepping for our mindfulness exercises for the year.
I have a pencil image below (with a pencil for scale) that I want you to duplicate (yes, in pencil) as closely as you can.
Don't worry about inking at this point, that will come on Wednesday.
Please pay attention to the particulars - for example, the style of lettering at the top.
If you finish "early" please make sure to upload it and quietly put the ipad away and get out your current drawing to work on.
ONLY PHOTO AND UPLOAD WITH THE IPADS PLEASE.
Smile.

In pen, on the next available page, draw your home's entryway.
From memory.
Think.
Focus on line and don't worry about shading.
Fill the page. Try to get detailed.
Don't worry about Perfect.
Or perfectly straight lines (so no rulers).
A little wonkiness can be healthy.

This is the end.
For now.
I want you, for your last daily sketchbook of the year, to grab a pencil and draw. From observation for at least 20 solid minutes (but maybe more).
I won't have that much cleaning for you to do today, but I will have some. I'm looking for quantity today, so give me that. Your time may be fragmented as you help me, but that doesn't mean you can't get that in as a minimum amount of time.
And smile. Always smile. Art is fun.
