This is another art piece that came my way because someone wanted the frame! Tsk, tsk, tsk. This sketch is a nice class sample because there are some guide lines that Dianne loosely sketched in. Students could see how the artist sectioned the page and began her sketch. Notice the center bottom line – and the whisper … More SMILE (Seven Days of Art: Day FOUR) Dianne Dengel sketch and Oprah’s piece
This post is also Day THREE for the Seven Day Art Challenge. It was a discard because someone wanted the frame.
