Nice job everyone!

Homework: 

After watching the Lynda Barry video, think about your childhood, and how you would play, This may may require you to look at old photos or have some type of comfort food that reminds you of childhood. Think about a favorite toy you had, think about what it was like to hold it in your hand. What kind of voice did you use when you played with it. In your sketchbook, draw what you remember about the about the object, full page, keep it simple, in pencil, ink and color if you wish. Do not worry about the drawing, on Tuesday we will look at them and make suggestions if needed. 

This exercise is meant for you to begin thinking about yourself 

as a treasure trove of stories, ideas and experiences.  

Maybe watch some old toy commercials on YouTube. 

See if they help to spark some ideas.
