By request this week, I would like you to choose a dessert to draw in your sketchbook. Have fun and as always it is best to draw from real life. So Enjoy your dessert!

For next week I would like you to choose a Saint to draw in your sketchbook. There are over 10,000 Roman Catholic Saints to choose from. All saints Day is Nov. 1st

For this first week of Qtr. 2 I would like you to choose a calavera character to draw in your sketchbook in honor of the approaching Dia de Los Muertos celebrations to come next week. You might want to research the art work of  José Guadalupe Posada Aguilar, an artist from Mexico that made the calavera images famous.

Here is a link to information about him:

Due to ITBS Testing this week you will have a Home Work Holiday. We will start with new homework assignments to start Qtr. 2 next week.

For this last homework of Qtr. 1 it is student’s choice for your homework drawing. Choose something that you like to draw in your sketchbook. Have fun and do your best!

8th graders should bring both Homework 6 and 7 next Monday. Anyone that has missed class and has not shown me older homework assignments should bring them on Monday the 7th as the end of the quarter is drawing near.

It is that time of year once again, for this week I would like you to choose an image of Big Tex to celebrate the opening of the Great State Fair of Texas this Friday. These are the three versions of Big Tex that have been used in my lifetime. Have fun and do your best!

For this week please choose a musical instrument to draw in your sketchbook.
