What if I...Sketchbook Revisions. 
 
Essential questions: How do artists envision artworks and explore to come up with ideas.
 
Choose your favorite drawing or a quick sketch from your sketchbook. Simple character designs and cartoon-style drawings work best for this. Think simple pencil work. 
**Photograph your original drawing before starting the assignment.
 
Next, Look at your drawing, Choose one art element that would best enhance your drawing.  The elements of art include- Line, Value, Form, Color, Space, Shape, Texture. (follow this  link for Video
 
Next, consider how you will use that particular art element to enhance your drawing. Some questions to consider: Why are you choosing it? Where will it go? How will it affect the mood of your work? What Materials do you plan to use? (Link)
 
The link above will direct you to my website page for working with unconventional art supplies from your home. Think of food products and office supplies:-)
