Both the concept of the birdhouse, and the birdhouse worked out beautifully. The house was composed of a camping lamp, but the outside glass had a door section cut out of it, and a hole cut out of the lightbulb, where younger were kept and the nest was made. I like the way it turned out, yet hate organizational line method.

We started doing charcoal renderings today. I find it quite messy yet totally sweet. Haha, using the erasor as the main drawing tool provides for this amazing and dramatic effect in realism and light. A girl in the class did a teddibear, but the texture of the bear, instead of synthetic fur was from a straw basket weaving. It looked really nice, considering she really can't draw. This method gives power to the creative yet fundamentally challenged. _patrick
