Today we got the class started by do a simple line drawing. We have moved on from our line unit to our unit on shape and form, but I don't want the student to forget how to do a line drawing. Also, the subject matter (an oscillating fan from the 1950s) was a more difficult subject matter than the chairs and stools from the previous unit. Throughout the semester, we want to continue to see what we are drawing in more detail.

After the warm-up, we continue to work to develop our art criticism skills. The students worked together with their tablemates to critique an art print using the four step proccess to art criticism.

Finally, we spent the last 45 minutes of class working on our black and white cut-out project.
