Record ALL your experiments with materials and techniques in your sketchbook.
If you are already confident with some materials, try using them in new, different ways.
If there is a technique you like using with one material, try using a different material in a similar way.
I’m NOT grading these pieces in your sketchbook like they're finished art. You are being graded on how engaged & creative you are with each material!
So, EXPERIMENT, PLAY & HAVE FUN!
