For this assignment you will need to create an envision planning sheet and 1 clay portrait that has at least 3 separate slab relief pieces, for example: 1 base piece, another slab cutout might be an eye, and another the lips. Other facial features can be carved into the clay or made out of additional slabs and attached. See examples below.
- Sculpt a Hamsa Hand. A Hamsa Hand is a palm-shaped amulet popular throughout the Middle East and in the Maghreb and commonly used in jewelry and wall hangings. Depicting the open right hand, an image recognized and used as a sign of protection in many times throughout history, the hamsa is believed by some, predominantly Muslims and Jews, to provide defense against the evil eye. For ideas on patterns, you may do a google search for "Hamsa hand patterns."

Get creative and choose a theme for your pieces, ie. nature, a holiday, a sports team, a tv show etc. The requirements are to draw up an envision planning sheet and create your pieces based on that. See examples below.
- Shabti Figure A shabti (also known as shawabti or ushabti) is a funerary figurine of about 5 - 30 centimetres found in many ancient Egyptian tombs. They are commonly made of blue or green glazed Egyptian faience, but can also consist of stone, wood, clay, metal, and glass. The requirements for this assignment are to create a clay shabti and list 3 things you learned from the slideshare.
- Salvador Dali clock sculpture (for ceramics students) Create a miniature clock sculpture based off of Dali's famous painting, Persistence of Memory. For this sculpture, you will need to drape the clock over the edge of a surface to dry. Which hand-building method are we using for this creation? If you answered "slab" you are correct!

- Use the web-based program "Canva" to create a magazine cover. Click on the link to access a YouTube tutorial.
- Create “black out poetry.”
2. Gather the interesting words. Have students scan the page looking for words and phrases that jump out at them. They will circle those words lightly in pencil. Remember, we read from top to bottom and left to right, so the words need to be in that order so the reader will understand the poem in the same way the writer wants. It is also helpful to think about the theme you are trying to convey. What do you want the reader to understand or feel after having read your poem?
3. Once students are happy with their poem, they can begin to blackout the page. There is so much flexibility in this step! Students can simply blacken the words with a marker, or they can connect them with color. They can paint or illustrate the page — even use collage.
Or — create an image that fits with the poem. After circling the words, you can sketch a design that fits with the theme or images of the poem. You may opt to add color.
- Choose one of the following contemporary artists to research and provide the following information: an image of one of their works of art, a short critique of the piece (do you like it and why or why not), and at least one thing you learned about them. ***This assignment may be repeated as long as you choose a different artist each time.

- Homemade Scratch Drawings
This was one of my favorite things to do as a kid! And this is a great idea for parents who have a lot of old crayons that are down to stubs. Basically, they just have to apply the crayon heavily so it builds up a waxy layer. Any sharp object can be used to scratch with. I recommend the large sized paperclips as they’re a little more sturdy than the smaller ones. But tacks and very small screwdrivers work, too! The best part is that if they do something they don’t like, they can color over it with black and try again.
- Practice shading forms. Using the example below for guidance, draw and shade a cube, cone, cylinder, and sphere.
- Use the art prompt generator below to give you a prompt to draw. ***Be sure to list on your drawing what the prompt was.
- Shoe still life drawing: Set a shoe in front of you and draw it, paying attention to detail, light, and shadow. This will need to be done in pencil and without color.
- Object Morph: Show one object slowly morphing into another similarly shaped object over a series of 3-5 drawings. See the examples below.
- Gather everyone in your family and have them dress in shades of the same color and take a picture. We call this a monochromatic color scheme. See examples below.
- Make "Fan Art." Take 3 characters real or fictitious and draw them using a comic book style. These should be miniature drawings (we call them "thumbnails") roughly 2"x3". See examples below.
- Draw a 3D Letter of choice using the attached YouTube video's technique
3D Letter Video
- Make a "shadow doodle" by creatively incorporating an object's shadow into a drawing. See example and YouTube videos below.
- A blind contour line drawing is a drawing of the contours of an object that is done without looking at what you’re drawing. You will be drawing your hand. Set a timer for 10 minutes. Pick a point on your non-dominant hand where the eye can begin its slow journey around the contour or edge. Remember, the eye is like a snail, barely crawling as it begins its journey. When the eye begins to move, so should the hand holding the pencil. At no time during the process should you look at your drawing. Try drawing the entire contour of your opposite hand without lifting your pencil from the paper. See the video for further clarification. The importance of this exercise is to train your eye to pay attention to detail.
- Give a shout out to a CMHS teacher that has impacted you by decorating a card, sidewalk (if you have sidewalk chalk), window (if you have paint), etc. Include the teacher’s name and why you are thanking them and make it decorative. You may opt to include a picture or even do this as a comic.
- Draw and shade a ribbon using pencil and paper. For help drawing and shading a ribbon, click on the “ribbon video” link.
- Create a found object value scale. Using at least 9 objects in a range of values, create a value scale. Make sure to arrange the objects in order from brightest white to the darkest black and take a picture to submit. Also include your name on a sheet of paper to receive credit, or you may opt to pose in your picture. See example below.
- Recreate a famous painting at home. Materials needed: random supplies found around the house. Scour the internet for famous paintings. Save your chosen painting to your computer then recreate it at home with supplies found around the house. To receive full credit, you must be the subject in your recreated painting (ie, you MUST appear in the photo taken) and you must send both original and recreated painting to Ms. Ores. Please mention the title of the painting in your email. See images below for examples.
- Create a radially symmetrical design using objects found in nature. Some materials used may be flowers, stones, sticks etc. See example below.
- Join the Stained Glass Art Movement. Materials needed: masking tape, tempera or acrylic paint (tempera will wash off easier), brushes, and a clean window. You can plan out your design on paper ahead of time. Tape off your sections as shown in the image below. Paint your window and be sure to take 2 pictures to send me- one of your in-progress work and one completed. Note, you must be in both pictures to receive credit.
- Make a toilet paper roll sculpture. All you need is an empty toilet paper roll and some imagination. Tools found around the house (a spoon or butter knife) may also be helpful, but not necessary. Use the videos below as guidance. Some find that wetting the toilet paper roll helps it to fold better. Just experiment and send your best attempt. You may opt to paint the sculpture when finished. Sometimes this helps to accentuate the wrinkles.
- Create a found object color wheel using things found around the house. Make sure to write your name on a slip of paper to include in the photo of your work that you send for credit. Your name MUST appear in the photo to receive credit.
- Research a famous artwork while going on a virtual tour across the world. Answer questions using provided handout and also use your drawing skills.
- 100 Drawing prompts. Select from drawing prompts to help you improve your drawing a creative skills.
- Practice your shading and blending techniques
- Value Scales using texture
- You better shape up
