[ OBSERVATION ] = The subject must be real. NO photos, computer images, etc. You must be looking at the subject in front of you, and trying your best to render it realistically. The subject must be rendered in a black and white medium (pencil, charcoal, or graphite).

[ IMAGINATION ] = The subject is created completely from the artist’s mind. It may reference objects that are real, but it is not based on any observed object. The subject can be rendered with color, if desired.

[ PHOTO ] = The subject is based on an image. This can include a digital photo or found photo taken by the artist, or by someone else. Printed media and the internet are the best sources for photos. If the sketch is labeled only with this notation, the subject must be drawn realistically and only with pencil, including the use of colored pencils. If it accompanies IMAGINATION then photos can be used as “building blocks” to create an imagination work.

• Assignments in “_” are fully interpretable. Be creative!!!
