Picture This!

This was a fun one day drawing assignment that I left for a substitute a few weeks ago. Students were asked to pick an image from the box at the middle of their table and glue it onto a new piece of paper in their sketchbook. They had the remainder of class to make the magazine photo blend into the page by imagining what the rest of the scene might have looked like and adding color. This project took some extra prep time to put together, but I enlisted the help of students who had finished early with a previous project to help me cut out the photos from magazines. I think this could be an interesting longer lesson in the future, giving students more freedom in selecting an image and using different mediums that were interested in.
