I see cool stuff brewing...

I look at your sites fairly often (especially around grading time) but most often I watch how all of you interact, what you do and talk about to each other - in class and off periods.  You have a bond that can't be duplicated on a site and I realize that more and more.  Here's what I see:

Anastasiya's determination and beautiful images.

Brooke's constant posting, always working but never discussing in class.

Cheyenne's amazing ability with depiction of her people - and never talking in class.

Chloe's love of art when she has an idea she's excited about.

Josh's fantastic idea of altarpieces (and love of AH!) - coming soon if I hear the rumbles correctly.

Katherine's sketchbook ideas coming to life - with thumbnails if I can persuade her...

Lily's strong sketchbook concepts - just waiting to be realized in finished pieces.

Michael's well-designed characters that seem to have come from another part of him.

Sofia's serious art side (and organizational skills) that is appealing and producing.

The deadlines seem unrealistic.  The time is short and you have very little to devote.  I ask for excellence and that will never go away - I care too much to settle or let you settle.  I know you can do this think called AP Portfolio.  I still believe in you.

Egon Schiele loved drapery, too.
