october 15_assignment for substitute

Go online and find 3 album covers that you like. See the examples below. They can all three be the same artist(s) or three different artists or groups.

As you look at the album covers on your computer monitor, draw them on a piece of paper provided for you. Your drawings can be sketches. They do not need to be detailed.

Your drawings should all have pictures plus text on them. An album cover contains words and images.

Do not use images that show drugs, smoking, liquor or any other imagery that could be considered inappropriate.
