A Little Behind

Today I am writing about class last Thursday and Friday. I apologize for getting behind. Mid quarter grades were due Friday and I wanted to get all the paper bag drawings graded and included on the progress reports. Almost everyone finished the bag drawings. I gave a couple students partial grades because they intend to work on them a little more.

I have a couple students finished with the scratchboard drawings and some that haven't even started. Some students are creating their initial drawings by copying a photograph. A few are using a grid to help them draw their picture in proportion. Those who are finished can create another one or work on art contest entries. I believe the charm that displays Lauren's design is now available at Steffan's Jewelers in McHenry. Profits from the charms will go toward the Pioneer Center. If you need a special gift for someone this Christmas, this may be just right.
