An inspiration board is a place for you to collect things that inspire you and can feed into your work.
What belongs on your inspiration board is up to you. It could include (but is not limited to): other artist’s work, techniques you are interested in, color combinations you like, textures you find interesting, news articles you want to investigate, sounds, music, film, etc.
With each addition to your board, you should write a sentence or two about why you wanted to pin it (to remind you in the future and to inform me)
I would like you to keep this board in an organized place of your choice, but it must be accessible by me. Examples of places you could keep it are:
1. Your sketchbook
2. Folders (like Laylah Ali)
3. Pinterst
4. Tumbler
5. Instagram
6. Weebly/Wix site
7. Create a fan page on Facebook
8. Other ideas?
I’m open, as long as I can access it to see what is inspiring you currently. This will also help me as your teacher. So, digitally kept is easiest, but if you really want to keep it on paper, that’s fine too.
This inspiration board will calculate into your Sketchbook/Formative assessment grade. I will be checking it for completion (adding to your board regularly and writing a comment about why you added it). You should have 40 additions over the summer and be adding at least 5 items a week at a minimum during first semester. I will be checking boards at the same time I check sketchbooks each marking period.
