Critiques

They also had great insight on each other’s work! – I try to teach all of my art students to verbalize what they can see using the art vocabulary we use in class and I want Read more about Critiques[…]

Kate Session

It’s a bit blurry, but this is one of my awesome Hickman student’s work.

My Art Student
