Project Outline: Last class we barely started portrait drawing due to a shortened class. Today we will go much more in depth, reviewing the process of dividing the measurements for facial features. I will again demonstrate on a model how to look for detail.
Conclusion: The class today was fantastic! There were about fifteen students today, and each of them really took the time to listen to the directions I was giving, and try as best as they could to draw the model- who was myself. I was very impressed at how incredibly focused everyone was on his or her artwork. They all really want to learn this basic artistic skill. It made me really glad that they have an opportunity to try something so advanced.
