Hello Students!

I am sorry I am not able to be with you today. I am experiencing some pain, I might have a stomach ulcer 😦

Please be nice to your substitute Mrs. Smith.  You will be completing an Art Debate today and posting it to your blog.  You can copy/paste the questions.  Most of the answers are your opinion, so you need to back it up with statements about why you think what you do.   You will be looking at 2 series of work by the same artist Arne Svenson.  The debate is posted below. If you finish early (and you have done a good job), then you can play on Pixlr.com or Bomomo.com…try creating a digital painting. Add your creations to your blog.

See you soon,

Ms. P 🙂
