9/19/2022 It's INKTOBER!Every October, artists all over the world take part in the Inktober challenge by doing one ink drawing a day, for the entire month. You can draw in pencil to start if you'd like, but your final drawing must be in ink. Some people put them all on one paper, while others use separate pieces of paper for each day's prompt. You will be responsible for drawing ALL prompts. You will be provided class time, however you are always encouraged to draw outside of class. :)

Before we begin, take out a small piece of scratch paper. On this paper, number 1-5 and make a 'favorites' list. In no particular order, write down your favorite: TV show, Movie, Book, Vacation spot, and event (like the Olympics, The Puppy Bowl, 4th of July BBQs...) Looking at your list, think of symbols, icons and images that represent each of your favorites listed. Some may be easier to find images for than others. You will want to choose one that you can easily come up with four different symbols/images/icons to represent. |
