SKETCHBOOK ASSIGNMENT

Research a new artist that coincides with what your independent artwork is about.  This artist should be someone you can draw on for inspiration as it relates to your body of work.  Create a two page spread in your sketchbook and present these artists to the Art 3 group on Thursday October 21st.
