What are we doing today? Today we will practice SKETCHING! This means you will only use a pencil &

your hand. Your lines won’t be perfectly straight because you can’t use any drafting tools.

On the paper given draw the Front View Elevation to the best of your ability. Don’t worry about the details unless you have extra time & want to go for some bonus points.

border. Always neatly letter your text Complete the self assessment rubric,
