3 Days before ChrChaKwacation Advent Calendar - Licorice Star Art

Look at the licorice stick and what pattern/texture do you see?
What pattern can you creatively create with licorice on your gold star?
Create a pattern on your star with black sharpie and fill in colors next.
Then eat your licorice stick. 
I'll photograph your star, give you string, you write a sentence about it and then you can take it home.

Mask - Sketches and sketchbooks are important as a way for an artist to work out what they want to do.

Masks on Artsonia
Sketching in your sketchbook is an important part of the art class. You draw whatever you feel like drawing that day. No one tells you what to do in your sketchbook but you. What bothers you - you can draw. What's on your mind - you can draw. What you are happy about - you can draw and once a week one drawing you choose from your sketchbook will be photographed and put on Artsonia. Each assignment we do, you are required to think about and sketch before you start the project and work out ideas. Below are examples of sketches and the clay masks made from the sketches. Do you think sketching for a project is important (always)?
