WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: How to sketch multiple versions of our final landscape concept using thumbnails.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: Sketching thumbnails allows artists to test out different approaches to the same idea and compare them to evaluate what works best.
HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: You will turn in 4-6 landscape thumbnail sketches by the end of class.
