Today: You will be working on your layout for your project. You can choose to have your canvas board in Verical (Portrait) Layout, or Horizontal (Landscape) Layout. You must also sketch in where you plan to have your image and what your plans for the foreground, middle ground, and background are. Remember, it must be a narrative about yourself. (Tell a story about who you are as a person!)

Update: On the comment posted...

Yes, in the sketches of your project you are just mapping out where objects will be placed. You will draw an oval for your head placement and can use other shapes for your different objects. You do not need details.
