I mean 2 weeks worth of work and he wants to redo it because his broke? I'm sorry but that's on his own time. Pick a friend and describe their skull using the elements of design. Sounds like he was trying to get out of the second part of the assignment to me (whether or not he broke his "skull").Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00415510811585368037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925412579189247293.post-44196590496921707532018-10-27T16:02:23.396-07:002018-10-27T16:02:23.396-07:00Sugar skulls?

It was placed in the kiln, which was to be run while we were all gone on our Senior class trip. The art teacher was our class advisor, so she was with us.<br /><br />One of the junior classes got to goofing around while we were gone, and the temperature of the kiln was bumped, or nudged, or deliberately changed, who knows? Everything in it was burned to ash. I was distraught. It was my Senior project, and a stupid underclassmen wrecked it. I still got an A, because the teacher saw it before it was to be fired, and she was impressed. But it didn't help my overall angry attitude.Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06870283055927616591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925412579189247293.post-42596858556991633612018-10-26T17:48:48.838-07:002018-10-26T17:48:48.838-07:00I took photography.
