A Closer Look At You

Students were asked to draw four objects that represent something about their identity or something they like. They were to zoom in, use an interesting composition or layout, add texture, and apply shading. Sometimes it's the simple, tried and true lessons, that end up being the most my students learn from! (Sorry for the bowing out in the pictures, my camera does that- argh!)
