reflection:
did not get to the line sculpture, would like to do that next time. will incorporate this into another lesson/unit another time I would also like to spend more time on the actual drawing practice, I know the kids do not like doing that, but want to find more ways to incresase thier skills. The line landscape is always fun, but not sure they are getting a lot out of it.
