Advanced Art Homework & Warm up Drawing

Advanced art students have two drawings due every Monday.
They are the warm up drawing and the homework drawing.
Both drawings will be assigned on Mondays and due the following Monday.
Both drawings need to be completed in the students' sketchbook and in color unless otherwise noted.

Advanced Art students will work on the week's warm up drawing during the first 5 minutes of class every day so that by the end of the week the drawing has been finished in class.
If a student does not finish they need to complete the drawing at home using this website as a reference.
The artist name, title of work, year completed and medium needs to be included in the lower right hand page of the sketchbook every week.

The homework drawing is to be completed at home in their sketchbook.
The homework drawing needs to be completed in color pencil (unless otherwise noted), fill the page and include a background.


Warm up drawing due Monday, August 26th.

Welcome to Art 2013!

I had a wonderful 1st day of school this year and all my art students did a great job on their energizer activities.
On a sticky note, throughout the period, students were asked to answer or finish a sentence.
1. What will Mrs. Wille need to do to help you this year?
2. My goal for art this year is...
3. Art is important because...
My all time favorite answers were:
1. Inspire Me
2. to make art that I am proud of
3. it helps you expressyourself in ways others can see and feel what you feel in your heart.
We're going to have an amazing year!
