For the final project, submit 1 page of sketches recording what you did or saw during the day or week.

1. Carry a broad black pen and A5 paper/sketchbook with you throughout the day.

2. Whenever you have a small pocket of time, (for example, between breakfast and starting work, or while waiting to pick your kid from school) draw the scene around you. Draw quick, small and simple and in small comic panels. Feel free to vary the size of the panels. 3-6 panels per page is ideal. Aim to complete a sketch within 5-15mins each. Only draw from direct observation and not from photos.

3. Include some text to the sketch that will give it more context. You could add the date, place, what you were doing at the time of the sketch.

4. Complete a whole page of sketches within a day or spread throughout the week. Keep it relaxed and enjoyable. Fill your page with scenes from different locations or of the same location.

5. Take a snapshot of your page with your phone and upload it to share with the class!:)

Optional: If you want to be more experimental, try out doing the page of sketches with other mediums.
