September Pencil Art

We are finished with September classes and want to share a little peek of what we worked on!  This is some pencil drawings of a still life.  This is an example of one of the compositions we made with our cowboy gear.
We moved these items around quite a bit and made different still life ideas to create.  The artists did a great job.   I enjoy them looking at an object and drawing what they see.

I look forward to seeing my art students, new and old alike!  Some have been with me for going on 4yrs now!  Love it!
