Egon Schiele's Contour Line Self-Portrait
On Friday, Scholars watched a video by Alexander Calder and we went over how to answer the questions, which should be finished at home.  It will be graded as a homework assignment.

Next week we continue to work on the wire sculptures based on the contour line drawings Tuskegee scholars drew of themselves.

Sugar Skull art critique happened and scholars had good, positive things to say of each other's artwork.  There was also a vocabulary quiz given and scholars who received below a 70 have to have a parent/guardian sign it.  

This week we will critique the currency project (which was put on hold for the special Mexican Holiday project Dia De Los Muertos) and start our big project for Q2.
