  4. After your 4 warm-up gesture drawings.... • pull out a large newsprint sheet and start a large 12” x 18” composition using the WHOLE SPACE. Draw a gesture drawing of the art room from your view from your chair. Once you have practiced one on newsprint, do your final gesture on large 12” x 18” white paper. • NO ERASING! Put your name on the back. • Put this in your folder.

  5. KEEP ALL YOUR WORK!(throw nothing away) • you should be putting your name on all drawings and keep putting them into your portfolio at the end of each drawing day. • Remember to work quickly and draw the big shapes first. Then move to the small details. Keep your lines loose and flowing.

  6. By the end of class.... • neatly organize all your drawings in one pile • put your name on all drawings • place your drawings in your folder • turn your folder in to the teacher before leaving.
