  7. HOMEWORK: Pick 5 (FIVE) items from around your house/bed room, etc. They should be an interesting shape. NOT a plain bottle or ball, etc. IN YOUR SKETCHBOOK… • Draw a blind contour of each. • They should each have their own page. • Label each item. • And put the DATE on the page.

  8. YOUR ASSIGNMENT: • Look at your shoes, wallet OR purse and concentrate on the contours (major lines). • IGNORE EVERYTHING ELSE! • Draw the contours the way you see them, not how you think they should look. • Remember to fill the space of the paper.
