Container

  1. What is the purpose of a container? Why do we need them? Draw examples of containers in each room of your house.

  2. Open a drawer, cabinet or closet and draw what you see inside. Bring out the contents and draw each object. What do these things have in common?

  3. Think BIG and small. Could small things be contained in a BIG container? Could BIG things be contained in a small container? Make sketches of how these more imaginary ideas would work.

  4. How would you contain things that can't be contained (i.e.--Love, Hate, Fear, Excitement, Boredom, etc)

  5. Make a sculpture. Find a bottle, milk jug, box, etc, and illustrate one of your container drawings/ideas in 3D
