Artist’s Sketchbook
In your sketch book you are going to draw a detail of a piece of Greek art showing a monster.
Use your viewfinder to select a detail.
Copy the detail into your sketchbook.

Try to copy the original piece of art as carefully as possible and add in all the details.
We will be using this drawing for a special class project.

Once you have drawn the detail in your sketch book we are going to enlarge it using a square grid.
We will combine all your monsters into a Greek frieze to decorate the walls for the Halloween party.
