It's October! So it's InkTober! 
Inktober came about with artist Jake Parker who wanted to improve his drawing skills. He created a drawing prompt list for everyday of October. Other Artists found out about this challenge and look forward to begin their drawings inspired by these prompts.

FOR EXTRA CREDIT:
Students will need to complete 1-20 drawing prompts. They will need to show Ms.Cardenas all 20 completed drawings to get extra points on their 9 weeks final grade. Drawings may be done in their sketchbook or on loose leaf paper that will need to be combined when showing Ms.Cardenas.

Students should also use the hashtags of #inktober  and #inktober2016 to participate in the official InkTober competition.
