Monday, August 30

Were does the weekend go? We started class this morning drawing Mr. Stravinsky, a famous line drawing by Pablo Picasso. The line drawing was coverred and I only revealed part of the drawing at different times. This teaches students to only draw what they see. And since the areas that are revealed often don't touch students stop trying to see and image and only try to see the lines that exist in the retangle that is visable. This is a great project for training the eye to see and training the brain and hand to work together.
