I WANTED  TO PUT   ANOTHER  STUDEN'S  WORK  ON MY BLOG PAGE.

THE  STUDENTS  WERE  GIVEN BLACK SAND  PAPER VERY FINE GRIT. THE  MAIN PART  OF THE LESSON DELT  WITH  CREATING  THE  ROUNDMESS OF THE  FACE USING  COLOR.  THE  CLOSEST AREA IS THE  LIGHTEST. DEEPER DARKER  COLORS   PUSH AWAY FROM THE  VIEWER.
