Before You Start:

If you have not yet completed your sketchbook activity where you redecorate your bedroom from the perspective of an animal or pet, take five minutes to finish that first.

Assignment:

In this assignment, you will be finding a location near your school or home where local wildlife can live and thrive, and create a drawing of that space in your sketchbook. There are four parts to this assignment.

1. Materials - Collect the materials you will need
2. Site Exploration - Choose a site from the Eliot and a site from your neighborhood
3. Sketch - Create a drawing of your site
4. Collage - Assemble your sketches together
5. Document - Take a photo of your work for Google Classroom

Part 1 - Materials

Spend some time gathering your tools. You will need:

• Sketchbook
• Loose paper
• Markers, pens, pencils, crayons
• A place to work
• Glue or tape
• Scissors

Part 2 - Choose a site

Using the three spaces in your neighborhood and three spaces around Eliot that you found for the City Walk assignment, choose your top two locations that you would like to work with.

Part 3 - Sketch

Create a sketch of your chosen sites. Try to use lighter lines and less detail for the surrounding of your specific area of interest, and add more detail around your site. For each site, create a top view and a front view.

Part 4 - Brainstorm

Using the drawings from your bedroom redesign, make a series of quick sketches that explore ways that you can re-design your two sites for each of the three animals from your group.

Upload the image files for your drawings to this assignment.

Part 4 - Collage

For this last step, we will be combining the drawings we did of our bedrooms with the drawings of the locations we picked out from google maps.

1. Take a photo of each of your drawings
2. Cut out the different parts of each drawing
3. Open to a new blank page
4. Carefully glue or tape the parts together to create a new drawing.

Bonus: If you have a printer or if you have pictures that your parents are okay with you cutting up, print out photos or screenshots of google maps to include in your collage!

Part 5 - Document

Take a photo of your final collage and turn it in on Google Classroom! If you have any other screenshots or photos of your previous drawings, submit those as well.
