Class Notes / Context

I teach a class on thursday nights in downtown Knoxville on "How to Draw Caricatures."  It's going OK.  I've got 10 highschoolers of varying abilities and interest levels, but on Thursdays we come together to study the human face and figure out how to exaggerate it.  I've learned a ton; hopefully it's not a complete loss to the kids.  More pictures from class artwork to come!  (Tips appreciated - like the wisdom kind of tips this time.)
