8-15-08  Congrats art students you have done a great job this week learning 
to see how to draw.  This week you were introduced to the art vocabulary of 
the elements and art as you created your logo name designs.  Each one was 
quite original!  Your looks of doubt are turning to excitement as you are 
beginning to draw.  Although this past week we were copying lines, shapes, 
and spaces, next week we will begin blind and modified contour drawings that 
will be true originals.  

I have added the MEGA Art Winners '08 to My Art GAllery.  I hope to add more 
pics as the year progresses.
