What are we doing today?  Today we will practice SKETCHING!  This means you will only use a pencil & your hand. Your lines won’t be perfectly straight because you can’t use any drafting tools.  On the paper given draw the Front View Elevation to the best of your ability. Don’t worry about the details unless you have extra time & want to go for some bonus points. UNT in partnership with TEA. Copyright ©. All rights reserved. 12
