The responses here are expected to be wholly your own. You should receive no assistance of any kind. This includes but is not limited to: anyone else or anything prompting you with questions, phrases, hints, or providing any grammar, spelling, or editing assistance. Drawings and written responses should be wholly your own.

Do not seek outside sources [like the internet, mom|dad, ChatGPT] of any kind.

DO THIS TASK COMPLETELY INDEPENDENTLY.

Do not share your responses with anyone.

Prepare 4 quick sketches:

Sketch from real life on 8 ½ x 11 plain white copy paper with a regular #2 pencil the following:

1. A pot or pan for cooking - using value only, no outlines. [We're looking for wide range of values in the sketch.]

2. A pair of keys on a ring - using line only, no value. [Utilize line weight and line quality.]

3. A place setting after you have eaten. [Plan the composition carefully.]

4. A wood, plastic, or metal chair turned at an angle. Include seat, back, and legs. [Pay close attention to perspective.]

Follow all instructions carefully:

Sketch from real life, not photographs or memory. Spend no less than 5 and no more than 15 minutes on each sketch. These are not intended to be finished works of art. 

FILL THE PAGE. Scale the objects up or down to fit the page. Think about the composition of the page. Put things under a light to help generate shadows and accentuate the form of the objects. Pay attention to and draw the forms, proportions, and perspective.

When done with the sketches, photograph or scan them. Do your best to keep the images as clear and bright as possible. 

DO NOT:

• Erase anything.

• Include text or graphic patterns on any of the sketched objects.

• Use editing programs to modify the photographs.

• Sign or put your name on the front of the sketch.

• Throw the sketches away; we will want to see them at the in-person audition.
