What Ms. Linne is working on...

I am working on getting my master's degree in art education and wanted to share with you what I have been learning about.

Right now I am in a course about the history of art education. I have been learning about the way that art was taught during the Renaissance. Often, art students were required to copy the work of more experienced or "master" artists. For my most recent assignment I had to draw a exact copies of two photos I was given by my teacher. Take a look at my finished drawings to see how I did.

Thanks for the Rug PTO!

The new rug really brightens up the art room and the kids love having something soft to sit on instead of the hard, cold floor. Thanks again to the PTO for purchasing the rug for the art room!
