Visual Journal Assignment #1 (Term 3)

Due: Monday, April 6th

Sometimes, dreams can be flat out weird. For this visual journal assignment, please illustrate (show in pictures) an odd dream you’ve had. Maybe you were flying over a city with Kermit the Frog, or having a lovely dinner with table full of talking cupcakes.

The odder the dream, the better.

For your paragraph (3-5 sentences) please describe to me what happened in your dream and why it was so odd. Your paragraph may be typed, or hand written.

              Remember to keep all images school appropriate.

Visual Journal Assignment #13 (Term 2)

Due: Monday, March 16th


Artist Cheeming Boey creates amazing pieces of artwork, using plain white cups as his canvas. Cheering uses Sharpie markers to make his incredible drawings on the sides of cups.

For this visual journal assignment, you will create a drawing on the "cup template" Mrs. Walker gave you in class. Remember, cups are circular, so you should consider this when coming up with your design. If you lost your cup template and didn't get another one, you can google, "cup template" and find one similar to what I passed out in class. Print this out and draw your design. If you don't have access to a printer, draw your design on a regular piece of paper.

For your paragraph, please write down what you think about Cheeming Boey's form of art, based on what you saw in the video we watched in class (which can be found below if you should need to view it again).

Please answer the following question in your paragraph (3-5 sentences):

Do you think Boey's form of artwork is still considered art, even thought it's created on something simple like a cup, rather than a traditional canvas? Why or why not? Please support your answer.

Visual Journal Assignment #11 (Term 2)



Due: Monday, March 9th

  A Munny is a figure made out of vinyl (a plastic material) with movable joints. The figures are blank and the owner can decorate them using pens, pencils, markers, paint, and other supplies.

For this visual journal assignment, you will be designing your own Munny. You will use the template given to you by Mrs. Walker to show the front, back and side views of your Munny.

How you customize your Munny is up to you. Perhaps you cover your Munny in graffiti style lettering, or fill your Munny with intricate patterns and designs. Maybe you create a new character.

For your paragraph (3-5 sentences) please describe to me how you came with your Munny design.  What inspired you?
