Wonderful job on Friday with the contour lines! I was extremely impressed! Because of Friday's fire drill we were not able to begin our hand exercise, today we will spend 15-20 minutes completing this. Then we will pull out Friday's fantastic model drawings and begin experimenting with chalk over all of them. You will turn in your hand drawing as well as your favorite face exercise. Refer to the slides for examples, instructions and the warm up.
