SOMETHING UNEXPECTED / 15 points
Part 1:
In your sketchbook and using your choice of media, draw a corner of a room, utilizing linear perspective and also value (shading/modeling of forms). Include both the ceiling and floor in your drawing along with other items in the room. (Furniture, windows etc.). This part is a continuation of your drawings from the Art building (See Above). Only this time you will be selecting an area that is more personal to you and incorporate shading as well.
Part 2:
Then I want you to add something unexpected into the drawing. This is a chance for you to use your imagination. It could be an airplane flying through your living room, a tiger about to pounce off your bookshelf or whatever you decide. You can think about adding something of unusual scale and so on.
In the 1920's the Surrealists artists would incorporate the juxtaposition of distant realities to activate the unconscious mind through imagery. See samples of Surrealists paintings below to get some ideas.

DISTORTED SELF PORTRAIT / 15 points
In your sketchbook, using either charcoal or graphite do a distorted self portrait. Use some kind of curved or irregular reflective item that will distort your image in some fashion. DO NOT use a flat reflective surface like a mirror, as this will not distort your reflection. Shiny cooking pots or lids, knives or reflective xmas ornaments, etc work well. Items with a "brushed" metal surface don't reflect enough. You will also need to include the background around you in your drawing. (No simply white or black backgrounds).
