My Project

I love that my students are eager to create when they enter the Art Room! They just make little shrieks of excitement when we start a new project each time. The materials that I am ordering are to replace ones that are on their last legs. The sharpener will be a necessity when we get to our sketching unit, and we have to have those precise tips to create textures and shading to our drawings. I plan to let the students create a drawing of a building that is in the town we live in, and these pencils and sharpeners will help us create nice texture and form in our art.
