Why were castles built?
Why is the selection of the site important?
What forms, shapes and textures do you notice?
What materials do you notice?
How are British castles similar or different from castles in other parts of the world?

Which forms, shapes and textures will you choose for your castle?

On heavy paper, draw the oil pastel colors for your scratchboard.
When your oil pastel is done, it will be dipped in black paint to turn it into scratchboard.  Make sure your name is on it! It will go on the rack.  The black paint needs to dry before it can be scratched.

Is there time left? Start to plan your castle design.
Who is your client?  Why do they want a castle?
Decide on forms, shapes and textures for your castle.  It does not have to look like a British castle.

Draw your castle's elevation (view from outside, looking at the front).
Planning drawing stays here for next time along with scratchboard.

Sketch from beginning of class goes home.
