Creative Concepts 1, Week 1: Sketching lines, grids, and understanding alignment

Here's the sketch we worked on together in class today. Your in-class sketch should look something like this.

Photograph this page with your phone held flat, directly above and under bright light. The photo should be cropped tight so very little of the surrounding table top is in the shot. Please save this photo as a .jpeg file (.pdf or .png are also OK) - but please do not submit iPhone native files (.HEIC).

Rename your file before uploading it using the naming convention LPeng_CC1WK1_InClassSketch.jpg (replace my first initial and last name with your own). You have until 11:59 pm of the night of our class to submit this file to the Week One In-Class Sketches dropbox on Canvas.

Week 1 Sketchbook Assignment:

Take a look outside at nearby architecture. It could be a house, apartment, commercial or other type of building. Take a photo of the flat front of the building and sketch everything, paying attention to the alignment of doors, windows and other features on the flat surface. Sketch any other interesting elements in the scene (i.e. trees, lawn, bushes, parked cars, etc. Try adding some clouds in the sky to complete your sketch. Here's an example of a successful sketch by a previous student:
