Week of Sept. 6

This week:

Wednesday- Vocabulary - Line Unit

Please keep referring to this blog: www.artdecaddell.blogspot.com in order to keep up to date. Sometimes whatever I post onto my blog doesn't forward to my class FACEBOOK & TWITTER pages.

A copy of the RUBRIC that students are to fill out for their projects will be placed into the Handouts tab sometime today.
