Shading and the boredom

Dear Grade Nine Class
I am sorry to hear that you find the shading assignment boring and not to your liking. It is sad that you are compelled to spend much valuable in class time complaining and be unproductive. Has it occurred to you yet that this might be a diagnostic test? Perhaps the teacher has more than the goal of simply shading working here? Is it possible that your work habits, your determination and your time management skills are being observed? Sometimes it isn't about the destination but instead it is about the journey.

Week 2 begins

It is already the second week! It was such a busy first week that I didn't get a chance to blog about room 3 and the happenings. By now you should have your sketchbook and be drawing. Today we are doing a small object drawing of blocks and will be having a pencil discovery. We will then move into one point perspective and drawing little boxes. Good fun! So for the next little while it will be all about pencil drawing. See you in room 3!
