SKETCHBOOK TOPICS!!!

A sketchbook is a really cool way to document your day-to-day happenings, interesting/weird things
you find, collect evidence of your existence, record ideas, brainstorm, and of course, sketch!
You will complete entries in your sketchbook based on the topics below and submit your work near
the end of each quarter. You may use any combination of materials you wish. All that I ask is that
you do so artfully, intelligently, thoughtfully, impressively, and that the ENTIRE page is filled.

GT: Complete a minimum of 5 two-page spreads in your sketchbooks by the specified dates on any
of the topics listed below each quarter.

Honors: Complete a minimum of 5 pages in your sketchbooks by the specified dates on any of the
