Sunday morning, thinking back over the last two weeks

Just sitting here musing about all the great work and effort that has been going on in room 301 over the last two weeks.  I have to tell you again how impressed I have been with your commitment to your art classes!  Keep up the good work.  In order to gain more skill in drawing I think we, my junior and drawing classes,  will be spending more time on still life’s.  I love this genre. It asks people to be skillful in the articulation of drawing the objects yet creative in the selection of object and composition.   Here are a few still life works that I like.
