Art homework dilema!!!! help!!!?

I'm just about to go into my 4th year at secondary school (I don't know what the equivalent is in America) and I've taken art as one of my options. My new teacher told us to go onto our vle (virtual learning environment) to get our homework for the holidays, so when everyone broke up, thats what we did, and we have to add more detail/finish off etc to our past art work in our sketchbooks. The only problem is is that our OTHER art teacher (a right old bat!) took in our books at the end of the year, saying we wouldn't need them. The homeworks due in first day back, and i don't know what to do! I don't want to give my new teacher a bad impression of me, because i normally give my homework in on time. What do you suggest i should do?! I've started just sketching random stuff, just to keep practising, but do you think thats enough? help!!!!





thanks in advance!





oh, and if anyone's going to be rude, then please don't bother answering!





thanks! =D

I'd consider turning in what you are able to complete between now and your first day. You really don't have much of an option here. I'd focus on quality rather than quantity.
Reply:Isn't there some way to get in touch? Any word on what anyone else is going to do? Anyone you can ask?





Was there a piece you did previously that you could think back to... Something you remember well, maybe it was something that had you fairly inspired so you did a nice job %26amp; were fairly proud of it?





If so, what about trying to do that one again, but taken a step further, and then finish that one off as you would if you still had it? Then at least you could say that, though you didn't have any of your old work, that one idea stuck out in your mind and you wanted to work in it more. I would think turning in more practice would work as well. Though it seems like the idea is adding more detail %26amp; finishing the work - so I'd make a point to try to turn in more complete items so at least they'll fit in with what he was expecting.





If that's not good enough then the teacher can just get bent!
Reply:Just find some old sketches in your sketchbook and finish them up,you could add color, extra lines etc. If you have a blank page do a abstract illistration because there easy and look good. Thats how I did my assignments at the last minute.
Reply:Try to contact a schoolmate that might have kept the book or at least written it down. Call your school librarian to see if they have a copy of the book and call and ask your school administrators if they are not on holiday and tell them of your problem and see if they'll let you look at the book.





Yes, daily sketching helps very much. It keeps you from losing skill and keeps your creativity flowing so that you don't get artists block.
Reply:what do you need to know kid? Ill show you some applications just three things and you ll do well making an impression of anything you want
Reply:is there a way you can contact your old teacher? if not, then do what you have been doing. maybe try to re-create the projects you did in your old class and fix them up like your new teacher wants. when the first day of school comes along, tell your new teacher your problem. hopefully he/she will like that you did something instead of going in empty handed.
