week twelve . . . finishing the colord pencil project

The students did another great job finishing up their colored pencil projects.  Overall, it was a joy to see them develop their drawing skills and produce such nice pieces of art.

It was a little hard for them to transfer the information of practicing blending colored pencils to the actual projects though.  Through habit, the students went back to "coloring" in their picture and used mostly the same value of a color on it.  I guess it will take some times to unlearn the coloring habit and replace it with shading with pencils.  These are a few of my favorites.
