You only need to do one of these:

Landscape Guided Practice

1.  Explore and Practice Basics View the master works by Hopper and Hokusai and spend about 10-20 minutes trying to copy each of their works.
  • Take notes on how and why they made their creative choices when making their artwork.
  • Try drawing their art on your own without tracing. Maybe try adding your own twist to it. Pay attention to large shapes before the details- again it's okay to copy to practice.
2. Prepare and Practice for your main project
​ Find a landscape to draw:
  • look out a window, take a walk, or go through family pictures. Just don't copy from a magazine, online, or other published source.
  • Practice drawing your landscape a few (3-4 10 minute drawings) different ways in your sketchbook.
    • Different times of day
    • Be sure to include foreground, middle ground, and background.
    • Try changing the composition direction of the image.
    • Try different locations, don't have to be the same place.
3. Create a final (best) landscape and fill the page.
  • Pick your best practice drawing and make it bigger!
  • Make sure you have things in the foreground, middle ground, and background.
  • Spend at least 1 hour on it, more is better- it shows you are really looking at details and taking the time to capture details.
  • Add texture and color is a bonus- and add if you spent at least 1 hour just making the design. That's what we're really evaluating.
4. Add images of everything to the your template.
  • Images of steps 1-2 and any "mess-ups" from step 3 should go in Green area.
  • In Blue area you only need one image of final project from step 3.

Perspective Guided Practice

1. Explore and Practice Basics.  Understand what perspective is and how to make a drawing of your own. Watch some of the videos below, take notes and copy their process to practice. Hint- use a ruler to make straight lines and take the time to make sure they are aligned properly. The people in videos might not use them so you can see what they're doing better. 
2. Prepare  for your main project. Take what you've learned from the videos and try creating your own design. Have answers to questions like the ones below before starting your project- this helps you figure out what details you want to add...
  • Are you making an image of inside a building or outside a building?
  • What is the space you are creating for? what details will help make it more obvious the the viewer?
  • Where do you want your eye level to be? Why?
3. Create Final Drawing and fill the page.
  • Pick your best practice drawing and make it bigger!
  • Spend at least 1 hour on it, more is better- it shows you are really looking at details and taking the time to capture details.
  • Add texture and color is a bonus- and add if you spent at least 1 hour just drawing the linework. That's what we're really evaluating.
4. Add images of everything to the your template.
  • Images of steps 1-2 and any "mess-ups" from step 3 should go in Green area.
  • In Blue area you only need one image of final project from step 3.
