About Mrs. Tatum I have been teaching visual arts for

12 years and have been at Endeavor since it’s 2nd year. I grew up on the Outer Banks and love the ocean and try to spend as much time as I can at the beach. My personal art is inspired

by nature and often expresses my love of bright and bold colors. I went to college at the University of North

Carolina at Greensboro, where I received my degree in Art History/

Museum Studies and Visual Arts Education, K-12th grades. I am

married and my husband’s name is Mike. We have a four year old son,

Asher, two cats, Cosmo and Audrey, and a hermit crab named Blaze.. I am looking forward to a great semester

Sketchbook Assignments– 1st Quarter Sketchbooks are an indispensable part of every artists life! It is

where skills are strengthened and ideas are recorded and worked through. They are essential in developing creativity! Often

sketchbooks are used in preparation for upcoming projects and practicing various skills. It should be a place where artists are

completely free to experiment and find their visual voice.

Each week students will have a sketchbook assignment that will be due on the

Monday of the following week.

Students should spend at least 30 minutes on each assignment

Drawings should fill the ENTIRE sketchbook page

(points will be deducted for small drawings.

Include DETAILS (include textures & value, unless otherwise specified.)

Sketchbook assignments should be colored or shaded completely.

I have read the syllabus and understand what is expected of me during this course. If I have any questions or comments, I can contact Mrs. Tatum at jtatum@endeavorcharter.com. Student Signature:______________________________ Parent Signature:_________________________________
