Grade 4 enjoyed learning about drawing from observation today our "life drawing" session.  Students posed for each other and worked hard to capture the pose in 1 minute, using line to build the form.  This class did an excellent job at this challenging activity and showed that they can really think like artists. Students are excited to be working in their brand new sketchbooks.
