Objectives:
Create a different drawing daily for Inktober with given prompt. Students will each be given their own mini sketchbook, gifted by myself, specifically for the project. By the end of the month, the entire mini sketchbook will be filled up with inktober. If students want a greater challenge, they are encourage to connect their month of drawings with an overall theme, i.e. fall/Halloween themed. Students will strengthen their linear abilities with design and illustrating depth with hatching. Goal is to not spend more than 5-10 minutes brainstorming prompt drawing idea.
