Distance Learning 2020 | Daily Sketchbook Prompts

Hello, VA COMP & Applied Design!


The daily sketchbook prompts that are chosen at random live on Instagram every day will be posted here in this blog post. I will update and add to the list as we go. The sketchbook prompts are up for interpretation. Be creative. You don't have to fill an entire page with one prompt. You can use one page for several prompts to conserve your sketchbook paper. Comment here if you have any questions.

Please see Final Project blog post. This final project is in lieu of a weekly assignment. This Final Project will be worth 100 points, which is a great opportunity to boost up your final grade for the semester.



VA COMP, use your Elements of Art square we made at the beginning of the semester as a visual reference.

Applied Design, use your Principles of Design Zine you created at the beginning of the semester for ideas.

Please send me pictures of your sketchbook prompts each day via email or DM on Instagram.

Thanks Gang. You're all troopers!

Much Love,

Ms. B
