Abstract Selfie Class.

What a great class today at The Historical Society of Ocean Grove.  Several students didn't make it so the class was small but it was still a great class.  The weather was extremely hot so we had class in the museum today where it was nice and cool.

I showed the class my samples

and described what we were going to do....

and then they got busy.....

we were using our non dominate hand to create our abstract selfies....

and they gals really got the hang of it right from the start....

at first they said no way "I can't draw" with my left hand!"

but they really did a great job.....each  and everyone of them.....

we then painted the faces and created crazy back grounds....

 Here is a few close ups.....

 

Thanks gals for making my job so easy...you were all great students.
