Grade 8 Semester 1: Select EIGHT sketchbook prompts to complete.

Title and date each assignment in the


upper right hand corner of your sketchbook page.

1 Ribbon Values
1. Using a strip of white paper, create a paper ribbon sculpture and place it under a light source to create shadows,
midtones and highlights. You may need to secure the ends with tape or blu tack so it stays spread apart.

You will be drawing your sculpture TWICE on the same page. Plan the layout and decide how you will use your
sketchbook page:
● Will the two objects fit better in portrait or landscape orientation?
● How large should they be, to fit two on the page?

2. Select THREE different coloured colour pencils to represent the shadows, midtones and highlights.
3. In the first drawing, use only the colour you picked for SHADOWS to shade your ribbon sculpture. Change the
pressure of your shading to achieve your value range.
4. In the second drawing, use all three colours to shade in the corresponding values.

2 Object Forms
1. Choose a meaningful object to you.
2. Study it carefully and find three interesting perspectives to draw it from.

detailed than what we usually do in class as you have more time per drawing.
