Journal Assignment: Create three double page spreads about contour lines. One spread should be a drawing of a public place or environment, like a classroom. The second spread should be a space you share with someone else, like your table you work at or eat at. The third spread should be a space where only you spend time, like your backpack or your locker. All pages must be created in pen line and completed in color using watercolor, tissue paper, or pastels.
