More Due Dates!!!

C'mon, you know you love it.
Due dates are on the board. Posted on Aeries. Put in the gradebook.

Good times ahead.

But seriously, a quick overview:
4: get started on that color scheme project; would prefer a split complementary scheme, but you have choices; 9x12" min
3: mix colors with white and mix colors with black; "paint" at this point; don't forget about glazing
2: same as above; make it purty

Smile.

Seriously, smile!

Oh Yeah ...

HAPPY MARDI GRAS DAY EVERYONE!!!

We're at the final week of the 4th grading period, Art 3/4 Study Drawings are due today, acrylic paintings are coming in during the next month, it's only about one more month before spring break, the sun is shining, be HAPPY!!!

Or at least try to be as happy as Ellie.


Or maybe this awesome Mardi Gras Indian has more of the spirit!
