Art II Study Drawings

Students in Art II began their first studio project. After an introduction and brief discussion of study drawings, each student selected a famous drawing from the textbook to copy. These types of drawings are helpful when studying specific drawing or painting styles of master artists. The pictures below are study drawings.
