Portfolios

I look forward to reading your portfolios when we return from the holiday. 

You do not need to wait for me to return it for you to pick your six images and begin your reflections. I suggest you pick images that will help you demonstrate your knowledge of the principles of design. I hope you will include your favorite artwork and explain why it is your favorite. My favorite is Van Gogh's Thatched Cottages at Cordeville.

Eid Mubarak!
