It was so great to see all of you today. I enjoyed catching up with the 7th and 8th graders and meeting all of the 6th graders for the first time. I think it's going to an awesome year and I can't wait to get started on creating some fantastic projects with you.
As those of you who had art today know, I'm going to post your weekly homework on this blog in addition to giving you a hard paper copy. If anyone has any questions about the homework, please let me know.
Visual Journal Assignment #1
Due: Tuesday, September 3rd
A
skateboard deck is the actual board a skateboard is made of. The flat,
long, oval, is made from 7 plys of wood, usually maple, laminated
together. Decks are often decorated with graphics from the company that makes
them.

| Miss Goff's skateboard deck example |
For your first visual journal assignment, you will be
creating a personal skateboard deck. Imagine that you were hired by a
skateboarding company to create a deck that reflects your own personality and
style, but also a deck that you could market to the general public.
Your design should be drawn in the shape of an actual
deck (long oval) and it should take up an entire page in your sketchbook. If
you would like to work on a larger scale, Miss Goff has larger drawing paper
available.
Remember, even
though this deck design reflects your own personal style, it should still look
like a well thought out artistic design. Think about how to make a design that
works well with the long, oval format of the board shape.
Along with your design you will write a paragraph (at
least four sentences) as to how you came up with your deck design and how it
reflects who you are as a person.
