Sneak peek final project option 2!

Kelli Sinner
I'll update this over the weekend and your research and ideas will be due Thursday Nov 6th at which time I'll give a power point to inspire and we'll do a small in class project. Remember your busts are due Tuesday at the start of class and since we'll have a visiting artist that day your work should be placed uncovered in the back room on the counter (I'll show you) Focus and work hard and check back before class on Tuesday for the final project to be announced!
