Inktober

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.

Materials:

- Mini sketchbooks
- Pencils
- Pens/sharpies

Activity:

​- Every Day of October is spent drawing a different one word prompt. Within one class period students will start and finish a small ink drawing.
- Drawings will be started in pencil and finished in sharpie or pens
- No color is included

Outcomes: students ideas and illustration will be stronger by the end of the month
- Keeping up with Inktober is a challenge in itself to finish a drawing each day.
  • Students will be asked to keep up with Saturdays and Sundays prompts too
    • Students can jump ahead and work on those days when they finish early on the current days prompt
