Sketching an Event

Plains Indians painted tales of their battles on skins. Look through a newspaper or magazine for coverage of an important event in your city or in the world. On a sheet of paper, sketch the story behind this event. Carefully outline each object in your design. Color the work using watercolor markers.

PORTFOLIO
Exchange finished artworks with a classmate for peer evaluation. To evaluate a peer's work, use criteria preset by your teacher or class group, or evaluate the use of elements and principles of art, use of media, and how well the artist has followed the directions of the assignment. Keep the peer evaluation of your work and the art work together in your portfolio.
