Fall II Holiday Sketching

Please bring the following photos to class. I would highly recommend that you have at least a 4 x 6 size for each. Before coming to class, I would suggest that you do some preliminary sketches of each subject that appears below. It truly helps. In class, I will demonstrate the subject and the medium we will use. Please note: some students are now bringing their Ipads and Kindle Fire, using our wireless connection, instead of photos.
