FIRST CLASS, March 12, 2015

For this first class, students did quick sketches to portray the "personality" of trees. 
Students were reminded that in an Asian painting, the artist must feel  a connection between what he or she is seeing in nature and what he or she is feeling inside.  Mary added words to make the connection perfectly clear.
