ADVICE FROM STUDENTS
- "At first I was pretty hesitant to start this project because I hadn't done art since middle school, but it taught me that everything can be broken down to simple shapes."
- "I learned how to draw a complex object by looking at it in parts, in other words, covering up the picture and focusing on one small part at a time."
- "Drawing upside down makes it easier to draw."
