Fundamentals students learned how to draw using contour line and how to measure human proportion. They used these two skills to draw their classmates.

Then they used their skills to create cut paper people.

Painting 1 students are working on a still-life series. They are painting one realistically and two more as a color scheme change or abstractions or morphs. We are still working on these so you will have to wait until November to see the finished products.
